World Economic Forum: Accelerating Digital Inclusion in a Post-COVID World - The Davos Agenda 2021

With societies locked down during the COVID-19 pandemic, total internet usage has surged by as much as 70%. While the crisis has enabled hundreds of millions to participate online, it has exacerbated the digital divide for the remaining 47% of the population who remain offline.

What policies, practices and partnerships are needed to drive digitization and connect the unconnected?

This session is associated with The EDISON Alliance, a World Economic Forum initiative that mobilizes a global movement of industry and government leaders across sectors to tackle digital deserts.

Speakers: Paula Ingabire, Mauricio Ramos, Andy Serwer, Robert F. Smith, Hans Vestberg
