Emerging technology will soon be all pervasive, and will reshape markets and societies. Its promise is unlimited, but only if managed well. Unlocking its potential requires an agile governance – one that can pre-empt risks, protect the vulnerable, and preserve innovation. The Emerging Technology Forum is a multi-stakeholder community which aims to build state capacity, enhance societal awareness, and engage with industry towards this.
