Description: The Fourth Industrial Revolution is expected to create enormous economic and societal value through use cases such as robotic process automation and flexible human-machine collaboration. It will be underpinned by ultrafast and ultrareliable 5G. A switch to 5G promises to catalyst various societal benefits and economic growth, involving job creation, income growth/disparity, consumer cost/time savings, pollution/greenhouse gas reduction and quality-adjusted life years gained. As 5G rollouts are starting globally, we invite IGF participants to join a discussion about its impacts, and how to assure its most inclusive nature.
The World Economic Forum has made 5G a priority topic in their technology agenda creating a 5G-Next Generation Networks Programme that Nokia is actively supporting. One of its key objectives is to stimulate cross-industry and governmental coordination and to quantify the economic and social impact of 5G. During our workshop, participants will have a chance to discuss 5G developments. We will discuss what are the 5G use cases that will change the lives of millions.
Expected Outcomes: Mapping of key societal issues related to 5G.
