Technology has proved to become a key enabler to success across all industries, striving to modernize the economy and society, and do so responsibly. However, without regional and global cooperation between governments and businesses, progress towards digital transformation may be at risk. Accelerating the digital transition will require buy-in and support from all stakeholders. The public sector is now in a unique position to drive technologyenabled solutions for the benefit of society, harnessing frontier technologies and innovation to tackle the world’s most pressing problems. To achieve this, a cohesive and concerted effort is required from both the government and the industry to steer progress towards digitally equipped ecosystems that rest on strategic and sustainable investment decisions, smart and agile policies, and public-private collaboration.
