And most importantly? This is where Google nor Apple can't go. Among the GAFAMs, leading B2B customers are Microsoft's private hunting ground. Whereas these last fifteen years innovation in the B2C sector lead the charge with social networks, ad-sponsored platforms, and consumer technology such as the iPhone, 2023 might be starting with a huge shift back to B2B deep innovation leading the market.
