As we start to envision a post-COVID world, it’s clear that rapid innovation in the healthcare sector is likely to catalyze massive changes that will allow doctors and hospitals to provide unprecedented levels of care. At the same time, technology will transform our workplaces in ways that have the potential to be both empowering and profoundly disruptive.

How have our communities navigated the opportunities presented by technological innovation so far, and how should we prepare for the even greater changes ahead?

How will innovation change the way we work, heal, and live?
