Unpacking Technology

At a time of rapid technological advancements and innovation, what impact might these trends have for global growth? On the one hand, technological shifts hold promise to meaningfully, and positively, transform livelihoods by enhancing the efficiency and ease of information transfer, connectivity and communication. Yet, there remain legitimate concerns on the net effects of technological advances – particularly in respect to whether and how automation will disrupt and erode certain jobs – the hallmark of emerging markets. In this presentation, Dambisa will explore how, by operating at the frontier of innovation and global trends, the private sector can contribute to the creation of new industries and opportunities that should offer employment and support entrepreneurs in the 21st century tech-based economies.

The election of Donald Trump and the Brexit referendum have together tested the limits of people’s faith in democracy.

Global Growth Outlook

The defining challenge of our time is how to create solid and sustained economic growth. In essence, how do we restore robust growth in the Eurozone, the United States, and around the industrialised economies creaking under mounting debt, challenging demographics, and stagnating productivity; and how do we boost growth in the developing world – home to 90 percent of the world’s population and where, on average, 70 percent of the population is less than 25 years old – as a period of unprecedented economic expansion begins to slow in some places and regress in others? With global challenges and risks mounting, Dr Dambisa Moyo’s work teases out the structural underlying evolving trends that will determine the long term fate of the global economy.
