Building back better together
The critical importance of digital technologies to our economies, societies and individual lives has never been clearer than in the era of COVID-19 - and neither has the digital inequality gap between those with connectivity, digital tools and skills, and those without access to the digital world.
This event asks how governments and private sector players can work together with the help of the international community to invest in network deployment, redirect resources and refocus strategies to close the digital divide. Which new or emerging technologies might be most cost-effective or fit-for-purpose? Will the pandemic stimulate sufficient demand, or do we need more demand-side initiatives? How can we build back better, together? |
