Innovation in the 21st Century Digital Economy
Over the past century, science and technology have been successfully applied to innovation in the industrial sector of the economy, leading to very high productivity and quality, and to the development of highly sophisticated and complex objects like airplanes, skyscrapers and microprocessors. The 21st century defines a new set of challenges, especially in the complexity of the systems we are now developing in all kinds of industries, including energy, health care, financial services and urban systems.
It is critical to once more leverage technology, science and innovation to address these challenges and make major improvements in the productivity and quality of these highly complex systems, including services, organizations and the very way the world works.
Continuing advances in digital technologies promise to be as pivotal to the 21st century as steam power was to the industrial revolution, leading to an information and knowledge driven economy which is changing the focus, design objectives and the methods by which the world innovates to meet global challenges.
The presentation will explore the changing nature of innovation in this emerging information and knowledge economy, as well as the growing technical capabilities and business opportunities for organizations that embrace them.
