MWC Main Stage

Session Description

Barriers remain in a world that is increasingly open, but mobile’s big data analytics and AI are emerging as powerful forces with the potential to unlock life-changing benefits that are only beginning to be seen. Be it social, economic, or political, accelerated action is needed to ensure barriers to progress are removed so young people and those digitally excluded can connect and open themselves up to new offerings. Whilst advocates already use technology to code and create content that engages new audiences and empowers their own digital experiences, balancing the digital divide is needed more than ever as tens of millions of future jobs will require far more advanced digital skills, including coding, software, and app development. A digital future is sure to be faster-paced and more dynamic than it is today. Let’s make sure digital is a future fit for everyone.
