(MENAFN) Promoting cooperation and a human-centric approach in the digital Economy is vital to the industry’s upcoming alteration, Deemah AlYahya, Saudi Arabia’s Digital Cooperation Organization secretary-general, has informed a Davos panel.
With so much of the international population still missing internet access, AlYahya informed the World Economic Forum panel on Tuesday that the world cannot meet the expense of to have a “digital divide between nations” and disparity among haves and have-nots.
She stated that “Looking at the speed of the digital transformation and the rapid increase of the digital economy, which is expected to be 70 percent of global gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030, if we don’t work together and cooperate now, we will miss out on a great opportunity.”
AlYahya cautioned that too often, even in places where connectivity is obtainable, problems of expenses stop people from becoming included in the digital economy — a problem which she stated cannot be resolved by all nations, all administrations and the private sector work together.
“We have to create the right methods of cooperation within the digital ecosystem to create a global inclusive digital economy, and the DCO is creating that space,” she added.
