Public-private partnerships: The only way forward?
Websummit panel about delivering results on public-private partnership.
Developing projects with social impact
Due to the lack of investment, everything points to the fact that without the support of the private sector, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the UN can not be achieved by 2030. To find out how a public-private partnership can be promoted that contributes to its achievement , the Web Summit -considered as the largest technological conference on the planet- hosted the talk between two world experts in this area: Sarah Alexander, senior executive director of the Global Innovation Fund, and Ricardo Vargas, executive director of the Brightline Initiative.

Barely a day goes by without some new claim made on behalf of smart machines. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning are already changing our lives. In future they will automate many of our everyday tasks – from driverless cars to shopping drones.
