New Technologies and Economic Growth

The amount of new renewable energy capacity established in 2019 was the highest ever. This includes the installation of wind turbines and new solar systems. Digitally-enabled platforms are estimated to account for 70 percent of new economic value created over the next decade.

Improved remote learning opportunities are now available thanks to 5G technology. Its sheer speed would considerably improve the quality of such learning by allowing for rapid participation without consuming a lot of energy. Students in far African villages, for example, would be able to engage in classes in real-time. With this, it is possible to achieve equality with a better education system that uses 5G technology. Furthermore, doctors can use virtual reality technology and 3D imaging to perform remote surgery with 5G.
