Event Abstract
Ethiopia is a country of incredible diversity and promise. Innovation and Digitalization offers the ability to address various issues in important economic and social aspects of life as it fundamentally creates access to information and data and engenders the opportunity for unprecedented growth. The country has an advantage as a developing country to learn from the experiences of countries at the forefront of digitalization, while designing policies that meet needs and fit to own local contexts.
- How do we mobilize and create spaces to digitalize important aspects of our lives?
- How will we work together to craft solutions that enable us to progress?
- How can businesses both support and benefit from this process of digitalization?
- How can a country commit to and sustain a holistic digital transformation strategy?
- How can partners support innovation, experimentation, learning, monitoring, and evaluation?
- Ultimately how can Ethiopia benefit from the digital revolution, and what must Ethiopia do to master the digital transformation age?
Many of the answers lie in disruptive innovations and thinking. It is believed that those who are at the forefront of their different fields shine insight and use innovative thinking to help overcome obstacles and find solutions to these questions.
