SUMMARY:Technology for Development
DESCRIPTION:The Delegation of the European Union to the UN in Geneva\, the Permanent Mission of Switzerland to the UN in Geneva\, the Permanent Mission of Slovenia to the UN in Geneva (currently holding the Presidency of the Council of the EU)\, and the Geneva Internet Platform (GIP) invite you to a series of dialogues titled From Geneva: Reflections on digital future which discusses issues of importance for the Geneva and global audiences. Our next dialogue\, ‘Technology for development’\, will be held on 15 December 2021. \nOpportunity does not come without risk. Technological advances must respect human rights\, democracy and strengthen economic and political stability. There is a danger that as the ‘digital divide’ continues to widen social inequality and exclusion in developing and industrialised countries will be exacerbated. \nThe success of future international cooperation is contingent on stakeholders embracing and harnessing the new technology. Innovation in digital connectivity\, processing power\, data management and algorithms can contribute to solutions for complex developmental challenges ranging from healthcare to education\, logistics to urban development\, from climate change to the empowerment of women. \nHow can we bring about the meaningful engagement of governments\, international organisations\, public and private organisations\, research institutions and citizens in an effective partnership? \nJoin us on Wednesday\, 15th December 2021\, 10:00–11:30 EST. \nRegistrations are open \nRegister×\nEnabling everyone to shape and reap the benefits of digitalisation\nPanel discussion on developing digital cooperation\, including connectivity\, capacity development\, digital and gender divide\, and digital skills. \nSpeakers: \n\nMs Doreen Bogdan-Martin\, Director\, Telecommunication Development Bureau at International Telecommunication Union\nMr Lacina Koné\, Director General\, Smart Africa (tbc)\nDr Jovan Kurbalija\, Head\, Geneva Internet Platform\nMr Jonas Bausch\, Youth Employment Officer\, International Labor Organization\nMs Nanjira Sambuli\, Kenyan researcher\, writer\, policy analyst and strategist\n\nModerator: Tereza Horejsova\, Geneva Internet Platform \nFrom Geneva: Reflection on Digital Future concluding remarks\nAt this conclusion of the series\, high-level speakers will examine the opportunities of digitalisation with potential recommendations for international cooperation. \nSpeakers: \n\nMr Mark Boris Andrijanič\, Minister of Digital Transformation of the Republic of Slovenia\nMr Eamon Gilmore\, Special Representative for Human Rights\, European Union (tbc)\nMaria-Francesca Spatolisano\, Assistant Secretary-General for Policy Coordination and Inter-Agency Affairs\, Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA)\nAmbassador Benedikt Wechsler\, Head of Digital Division\, Federal Department of Foreign Affairs of Switzerland\n\nModerator: Lotte Knudsen\, Permanent Observer and Ambassador\, Delegation of European Union to UN and other international organisations \nOther events from the From Geneva: Reflections on digital future series: \n\nData economy: Human-centric approach at the forefront (22 September 2021)\nDigitalisation powering environmental protection (14 October 2021)\nHarnessing AI’s power for health (3 November 2021)\n\n\nRegister
