Author Description

This is an open access book. 2025 4th International Conference on Big Data Economy and Digital Management (BDEDM 2025) aims to explore the new avenues opened by rapid advances in big data analytics, digital transformation, and their tremendous impact on the global economy. This conference builds on the success of its predecessors, accentuating current trends, opportunities, and challenges that organizations and societies face in the process of digitization. Unlike previous editions, which mainly focused on foundational theories and early applications, this year’s conference delves deeper into the integration of big data with emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, and Internet of Things (IoT). With industries increasingly pivoting towards data-driven decision making, we aim to highlight practical case studies, successful strategies, and advanced research that demonstrate the transformative power of big data in diverse sectors — from finance and healthcare to manufacturing and smart cities. The key objective of the conference is to provide a platform for academics, industry leaders, and policymakers to discuss the intersection of big data and digital management, share cutting-edge research, and forge collaborative partnerships. In a rapidly shifting landscape, it is imperative to understand how big data can drive economic growth, enhance operational efficiency, and improve societal welfare. This year's forums and discussions will emphasize actionable intelligence, real-world applications, and strategic frameworks that can be leveraged for sustainable development in the digital age. BDEDM 2025 warmly invite you to participate in and look forward to seeing you in Ningbo, China.
