Technology plays a fundamental role in development from using AI to identify those in need to drone delivering medicine and developing drought-resistant crops. Join ESG Africa Conference on November 28 at 15:00 for a webinar facilitated by Creamer Media Webinars that will explore technology for development.
Technology can help developing countries "chasm jump", as seen with cellular technology, making the need for fixed-line infrastructure obsolete. How can knowledge infrastructure in developing countries be clearly understood and aid in setting appropriate strategies to apply new technologies to enable sustainability and environmental, social and governance, and shared value in local communities and economies? How can policy and technology development be ensured that does not increase inequality but rather promotes shared benefits? This webinar will unpack some of these issues and give some concrete examples of where technology is being applied in response to local needs and circumstances. It will also discuss how policy choices are supporting or disincentivising this as well as what companies can do to align their technology strategies and support shared value.
Marina Madale from NTN, Dirk Kok from NXGN, Joy Omari from Amwata Tech in Kenya, Nick Argyros from Injozi and Jessica Chivinge from Discovery for a compelling session.
