New Connectivity

The Valdai Group: "A new edifice of the world economy cannot be built overnight, but, obviously, the process of its construction has already begun. We can see firsthand that although the current crisis has complicated international economic communication, at the same time it has awakened many new forces that are willing to seize the moment to take a better place in the global economy, writes Valdai Club Chairman Andrey Bystritskiy.

The modern world is trapped in a crisis, and the crisis is worsening. It is obvious that, in general, the general bitterness is growing; the fault lines between different parts of the world, states, and opposing forces are deepening. However, at the same time, the interdependence of countries upon one another has not gone away, and, in a certain sense, is even increasing.

So, the dimensions of the global crisis unfolding in recent years include an intellectual one: you need to understand what things depend on each other and how. Perhaps, by the way, this is the most important thing: after all, to resolve any difficult situation, you need not only the strength, or, for example, the will, but also the ability to foresee, to develop intelligent solutions in which it will be possible to look for ways to resolve even the most complicated situations. Whatever one may say, the main difference between a person and other living beings lies precisely in the ability to imagine, predict the future, and to come up with ways to achieve what you want, despite obstacles that sometimes seem insurmountable. . ."

The Global State of Connectivity

Over the last several years, constant, reliable, fast, and secure connectivity has become essential. Cradlepoint commissioned a global survey of 3,000 respondents on the state of connectivity as well as the potential impact improved connectivity can have on business and society as a whole. One thing is clear: Business resilience, closing the digital divide, and supporting and improving sustainability efforts can all be addressed through better, more secure and reliable connectivity. Cradlepoint's Global State of Connectivity has been developed based on the findings of Censuswide research — a collection of global respondents that were business owners, C-level executives, and senior managers at businesses with more than 250 employees.
