Ensuring Digital Equity | 2020 Concordia Annual Summit

Speakers: Demetrios Marantis Julie Hyman Mark Isakowitz With Visa and Yahoo! Finance In a digital age where our lives and business are conducted online, digital equity is essential for a fair and inclusive society, particularly as we rebuild from the global pandemic. Digital equity is the assurance that all individuals and small and micro businesses (SMBs) can participate in and receive full benefits from digital platforms. This includes connections, availability of appropriate services, and the ability to understand and know how to use and drive technology and its outcomes to solve problems and achieve goals. Digital platforms are impacting individuals, businesses and economies with great promise, but with great peril to those who fail to employ that technology to capture their benefits. SMBs in particular, need to change and adapt their business to survive and grow, or risk being left behind. If this happens, inequality among and within countries will continue to grow, and there is evidence that just as digital technology advances economic growth exponentially, inequality gap growth is also accelerated when distribution of technology is uneven. We do not live in a digitally equitable world. Existing social and economic inequalities mean digital exclusion of individuals, small businesses and communities. Concordia is the leading public-private sector convener, with the Annual Summit one of the most important global gatherings of C-suite executives, heads of state, government officials, nonprofit leaders, and entrepreneurs. https://concordia.net/   / concordiasummit     / concordiasummit     / concordiasummit     / concordiasummit      / theconcordiasummit
