The Digital Ecosystem Project
 The World Economic Forum, through its IT, Media & Entertainment and Telecom Industry Partnership programme has launched an initiative on the future of the digital ecosystem.
Head of project, Silvia Von Gunten, said: “This is a two year project with the goal of deriving business-ready insights and recommendations for the Forum's IT, Telecommunications and Media & Entertainment Industry Partners.”
The project consists of two phases of work, each lasting a year:
- Phase One: Scenario Construction
- Phase Two: Subsequent Recommendations and Action Plan
At the World Economic Forum on East Asia, there was a workshop with key industry leaders, stakeholders and experts, designed to identify the critical uncertainties that could shape the evolution of the digital ecosystem over the coming 10 years.
The workshop also looked to sketch the outlines of potential future scenarios for the digital ecosystem in 2015.
