Doing More with Less: how to address growing needs in times of economic uncertainty?

In an era of mounting geopolitical uncertainty, financial constraints, and global challenges, how can innovation and technology act as catalysts for governments to navigate the pressing issues of tomorrow?

The 60 minutes-panel discussion will bring together global leaders from government, international organizations and industry to explore the transformative potential of emerging technologies – such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) – alongside policies that reinforce economic stability and innovative fiscal strategies designed to enhance public finance management, boost labor productivity, and achieve more with fewer resources. We will also delve into the necessary mindset shifts required to fully harness these advancements and discuss the critical safeguards that must be established to responsibly integrate these new technologies.
