Data: As a group, the eleven “frontier technologies” identified by the UN Conference on
Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in their 2021 Technology and Innovation Report currently
represent a $350 billion market, which is expected to grow to over $3.2 trillion as soon as
2025. Context: As governments, businesses, and individuals increasingly transition more
of their activities into virtual spaces, planning the “infrastructure” of the metaverse is
becoming key. Key technologies such as AI, robotics, and the internet of things (IOT) are
revolutionising processes and creating more and more digital jobs, yet what elements are
critical to creating a functional ecosystem? Action: These sessions will explore the promises
and potential pitfalls of key technologies, including how they can be nurtured by business
and government leaders without further widening inequality within, and among, countries.
