As ex-entrepreneur in digital tech, I was very pleased to share the stage with my colleague Moe Ba, ITU innovation expert, for this first Live Q&A, this time on digital innovation for sustainable development. What topic would you like to be discussed in another Q&A with an ITU expert? Put your favorite in the comments below. Some highlights from the recording below of our first Live Q&A: - Digital innovation is a productivity gainer (tech is not a root cause of change; tech is there to help you do a job) - Top 3 industries globally that urgently require sustainable development supported by tech: energy, transportation, construction - Make your small piece of the pie a big pie through collaboration to get complementary resources, opportunities and capabilities to drive digital innovation together (to mitigate silos in today’s specialized economy); no one can get innovative products to market alone - Policy needs to be agile to adapt to rapidly changing technology and provide support to innovators early in their journey; 90% of SMEs fail because they cannot figure out the right business model and collaboration with partners, including the private sector, to go beyond prototype #WTISD #InnovateForProsperity #innovation
