3. Foster a culture of technology and innovation important to the advancement of society

Digital transformation is essential for any business’ growth plans, and technology and innovation play a pivotal role in today’s global economy, for individuals, communities, businesses and governments. Trends that were already in place have been greatly accelerated by the impact of the pandemic, with new, transformational technologies becoming commonplace within a matter of months. By 2025, it is forecasted that around 75 billion ‘Internet of Things’ connected devices will be in use, leading to increased potential vulnerability of critical technology infrastructure from cyber attacks. Today’s environment demands that businesses deliver quality products, solutions and services faster and more securely than ever.
