Digital Empowers Charlotte
March 13, 2019
Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont
5301 Wilkinson Blvd
Charlotte, North Carolina 28208
USA
On March 13, 2019 the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation (USCCF) and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will host the second Digital Empowers regional forum in Charlotte, NC. In partnership with the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance and North Carolina Technology Association, the event will be an opportunity for business and community leaders to explore and share the innovations and partnerships that are building a stronger future for the city.
Digital Empowers, a partnership between USCCF and TCS, explores how to harness technology to bring greater access and equity to individuals and communities through collaboration.
Innovations and emerging technologies, networks, and services are transforming society. From the way companies do business and engage their value chains to the way governments and nonprofits reach and empower communities and individuals; yet, there is still much to be done to realize the full potential of technology for social good.
Combined with the ingenuity and resources concentrated within the private sector, innovative partnerships—where businesses can work with, and leverage, the assets of governments, NGOs, and civil society—can develop creative, sustainable, and scalable solutions to alleviate societal and sustainability challenges.
The Digital Empowers campaign will increase understanding of technologies and digital innovations, such as blockchain, design thinking, virtual reality, robotics, data collaboratives, as well as bring greater awareness to how organizations of all sizes are leveraging their capabilities to compound social impact in their neighborhoods and around the world.
