Digital solutions can provide the building blocks for access to education, health services, financial inclusion, industry and manufacturing, but what are the public and private sector’s roles in driving this new chapter of development?

As society approaches a pivot point, our panel examines how technology can be made the digital backbone of the global economy.

As sustainability moves to the forefront of the public consciousness, how can we use innovation to disrupt existing economic systems, minimize or eliminate waste, reduce carbon dioxide emissions and support an entirely new way of life?
