Urban Innovations from Global CIOs
While cutting-edge technology can enhance economic growth, productivity and social inclusion, when unevenly deployed in cities it can create a digital divide, exacerbating already existing inequalities. Chief Innovation and Technology Officers have a crucial role to play to deploy digital solutions while reducing this digital gap. During this session, we will discuss the relevant role of technology in making cities more resilient and adaptive in the near future, without leaving any citizen behind.
