Digital Transformation
Digital technologies are transforming lives, creating opportunities, and advancing social and economic development. For individuals, they offer the potential to significantly improve access to information, improve educational outcomes, create possibilities for new revenue streams, and foster the improvement of socio-economic conditions. For organisations, they have the potential to lower transaction costs, promote workforce development, improve decision-making, increase efficiencies, facilitate innovation, expand markets, and create new revenue streams. For nations, when properly applied, digital technologies have the power to deliver services to citizens efficiently, to strengthen democracy to foster social and economic development and the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
