Digital inclusivity is vital in creating a fairer world. But how do you find a way to connect billions of people?

Today’s guest is Isabelle Mauro, former Head of Information, Communications & Technology Industries at the World Economic Forum. Isabelle has spent her career in telecommunications building relationships between sectors to help marginalised communities come online and grow.

Welcome to Data Today, a podcast from Zühlke.

We're living in a world of opportunities. But to fully realise them, we have to reshape the way we innovate.

We need to stop siloing data, ring-fencing knowledge, and looking at traditional value chains. And that's what this podcast is about. Every two weeks, we’re taking a look at data outside the box to see how amazing individuals from disparate fields and industries are transforming the way they work with data, the challenges they are overcoming, and what we can all learn from them.

Zühlke is a global innovation service provider. We envisage ideas and create new business models for our clients by developing services and products based on new technologies – from the initial vision through development to deployment, production, and operation.
