From Users to Intercitizens: An Ecologically-Driven Proposal to Reimagine the Digital Economy

What if business leaders move away from feeding the individualism of a user-centric digital economy, to embrace the interdependence of digital ecosystems driven by responsible citizens of Planet Earth? In this session, Andres Colmenares explores the opportunities emerging from this hypothetical question.

“We need to challenge the idea that time is money. What if time was understood, instead, as life.”
