11. Moldovia’s opportunity – your GOLDEN age
It is not about technology, it is about the capacity
to innovate WITH technology
Each society will be a “knowledge society”
All stakeholders (Government – Industry – social)
should “believe” this
ICT is an “enabler” of productivity
Start with basics:
• Connectivity – Access
• Education
• Regulatory framework
• Cloud is an opportunity (utility thinking)
