The Global Forum 2015 program is entitled: DIGITALIZATION, From Disruptions to SustainabilityÂ
We depend upon Digitalization which forms a new view of the Digital Age and Digital World. The twenty first century Society are more complex and connected.. Huge improvements in connectivity and access to knowledge and the considerable benefits associated with the digitalization of human activities are compounded with major challenges to privacy, digital literacy and employment. With the great promises of Cyber come the great challenges of disruption and transformation. As governments, businesses and citizens, how can we grasp the implications of those transformations? The formation of new strategies, policies, laws and even new social codes requires a new, inter-disciplinary approach. The Global Forum 2015 will provide strategic direction and tactical guidance for those involved in dealing with the challenges of the Digital Age.
