    Dr Malina NGAI, our Group CEO, inspired startups today at Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund JUMPSTARTER in Hong Kong by discussing the “AI Playbook for Retail” and sharing valuable insights on AS Watson's digital transformation. She highlighted, “At AS Watson, we operate O+O retail which I define it as a tech-powered business with a human soul.” “After 184 years in business, we’ve learned that technology must serve human connection, not replace it. The most successful innovations will be those that remember the human element while pushing technological boundaries forward.”💡✨ #ASWatson #RetailAI #JUMPSTARTER2025
