In the session which officially opens the event, the World Economic Forum's founder and executive chairman, Professor Klaus Schwab, has a one-on-one with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California (2003-2011) on driving global climate action, and the role of business in shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution in a fractured world.
"Today 9 out of 10 people are breathing polluted air, 20,000 people will die as a result of pollution while we are here today in this conference," says Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Welcome to the second and final day of the #ism18 meeting here in sunny San Francisco, California.
We are continuing discussions and conversations around our three main themes of the meeting:
Foresight and Preparedness: How can industries improve their planning and performance in response to geopolitical challenges, market volatility and emerging technologies?
Trust and Resilience: How can industries build trust among their stakeholders and strengthen their organizational resilience in an era of increasing digital disruption and cyber-threats?
Innovation and Impact: How can business-driven innovation and new forms of collaboration address critical socio-economic and sustainable development challenges?
Should you be using Blockchain in your business?
While blockchain enthusiasts project the technology will account for 10% of global GDP by 2025, skeptics and supporters alike lack the tools to assess the political, security and environmental implications of the technology and digital currencies. When is blockchain right for business?
Tune in for the live session at 10:30am PT.
Blockchain is an innovative solution, but it is not the solution to all problems.
