At the Microsoft Ignite conference this week, the technology giant signaled that COVID-19 had ushered in a new era of digitization that will define future technology innovation.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella discussed key trends that would make their imprint on technology innovation in the future and the impact of these trends on a fragile world.
COVID-19 provided the definitive moment for numerous industries to digitize – for workplaces to support remote working, for digital health in remote areas and for digital twins in manufacturing, Nadella said.. These technologies helped enable social distancing in key environments and helped stem the tide of COVID-19.
“The past year has brought the most significant change to our society and our economy in modern history,” he said.
