Sustainability in a Post-Covid world

How will technology balance economic imperatives with sustainability considerations in a post COVID world?

What's it all about?

As the global pandemic spread across the world, companies, industries and governments scrambled to adapt and align to the new normal, pivoting their priorities and strategies to focus on business continuity, food safety, border control and other transition processes.

But with the "new normal" firmly established, and change the only constant, it is time to bring sustainability back to the forefront of conversations.

This panel will discuss the steps companies, governments, and individuals could take to align our immediate pandemic response with the longer-term imperatives of sustainability? And how will technology help balance economic imperatives with sustainability considerations in a post COVID world?
