There isn’t an iota of doubt that humanity continues to embark on a period of unparalleled technological advancement. The next 20 years will present both significant challenges and opportunities. Private sectors, governments, academics and entrepreneurs are all seeking the roadmap for navigating these profound changes in the world of work. Such a road map must be created collaboratively by all stakeholders. One of the most immediate and impactful outcomes of technological evolution is the vast advancement in automation. Every day, more manual processes become automated, and as technology continues to accelerate, so will automation. As a result of these developments, the world of work and labor market demand are swiftly changing. According to McKinsey, up to 375 million workers may need to change their occupational category by 2030, and digital work could contribute $2.7 trillion to global GDP by 2025. Faced with the scale of the unstoppable shifts in workforce demands, there is a need to address the challenges associated with workforce transformation, starting by taking an in-depth look at its impact on the world of work. Against this background, themes of Sustainability, Technology, Resilience, Innovation, Development, Entrepreneurship will be explored and discussed during the Conference.
