Abstract
Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group, spoke about how mobile operators can and must play a critical role in achieving the two goals of the World Bank to end extreme poverty by 2030, and to boost shared prosperity among the poorest forty percent around the world. The World Bank Group asks how can we give everyone a chance to reach their aspirations? We must begin – right now, with a tremendous sense of urgency – to rethink in a fundamental way how connectivity, big data, and new technologies can create new drivers of economic growth and opportunities for all. We will need to give people the chance to learn the new skills needed in a rapidly changing market. Our ambition for our partnership with Big Data for Social Good is to harness mobile data to improve every one of our health, environment, energy, transportation, and urban projects across the globe.
