How will this Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) that has ushered in a new era of economic disruption in Africa affect its economy?

The impact of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, robotics, 3D printing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced wireless technologies will depend largely on how we choose to use them.

In this episode, we hear from economist and Professor of 4IR Practice, Professor Miriam Altman, on the impact of this Fourth Industrial Revolution on Africa’s economic potential and how we can adapt and get more value to be able to compete globally.

This is my personal website. It started with the aim of offering easy access to a body of research created over a decade on employment, growth and poverty reduction. I have posted my own papers and publications and those where I have been commissioning editor with a wide group of experts. I hope that making the papers and methodologies available will assist policy makers and researchers globally. This website will now evolve to share my recent interests, writing, initiatives and links to organisations I am involved with.
