- Without technological constraints, more people from across
Africa are free to innovate and create on the global stage.
- Democratisation of energy is necessary to enable Africans to
move into the digital age.
The term ‘Democratisation
of Technology’ has become synonymous with the digital age. In a nutshell, it
means that access to advanced technology is no longer the domain of a
privileged few, but that more and more people are benefitting from access to
smart technologies which is rapidly levelling the playing field of global
innovation.
Cape Town, 02 September 2019: As global leaders descend on Cape Town this week to
explore economic opportunities at the World Economic Forum (WEF) conference,
Siemens has unveiled a data visualisation of the city that illustrates how data
is critical to transforming Africa’s urban centres into smart cities of the
future.
Innovation plays a
crucial role in the private sector in terms of competitiveness and it is also
gaining importance in the public sector for the simple reason that decision
makers are wanting to improve the performance of the economy amplifying
economic development. Partnerships between government, business and civil
society are not new, but increasing in frequency in order to meet South
Africa’s societal needs.
- Africa needs
a digitalization strategy to compete in the global economy
African
countries must act quickly and decisively to become leaders on the global
economic stage. Digitalization is providing the continent with the opportunity
to accelerate growth and rapidly expand struggling economies – but it’s a small
window and decision-makers must get a strategy in place now in order to
succeed.
