Saudi Arabia is harnessing technology for the future - now is the moment to embrace change - Telegraph.co.uk

In our connected world with its layers of rapidly advancing technology, there are huge opportunities for innovation and creative solutions to many previously intractable problems. 

We are seeing the stuff of science fiction turn into accepted reality; the new developments of the emergent fourth industrial revolution are going to aid development, power growth and deliver change in ways we may now barely conceive. 

That’s the big picture. It is exciting, it is bracing and it is something that we in Saudi Arabia know we must embrace. 

At the Misk Foundation, established by the Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to advance and cultivate learning and leadership for the Saudi Arabia of tomorrow, we are focusing on a range of initiatives aimed at delivering on this progress: progress for our economy, and progress for our next generation.
