Bridging the Digital Divide

The world has been going under a digital transformation. This transformation affects the lives of everyone from individuals to organizations.

The full transformation is only possible through the development and proliferation of digital skills and qualifications in a society. We all have our responsibilities in this matter.

In our “Bridging the Digital Divide” event, organized in a collaboration between Vodafone Turkey Foundation and Harvard Business Review Turkey, we will discuss the importance of digitalization and what we can do about the digital competence gap with foreign and local participants.

We would be more than happy to see you in our event where Mitchel Resnick, one of the most prominent professors in MIT and the founder of Scratch programming language, will be the guest of honor.
