This myopia isn’t solely confined to companies. We all view tech through a localized prism — which is why I’m excited about Priscilla Chomba-Kinywa’s talk at TNW Conference. The Greenpeace CTO has led digital transformation and ICT4D strategies across 50 countries and five continents, at organizations... Read more ›
