Reporting Global Tech Stories

“Is anything local anymore?”

To celebrate RoW100: Global Tech’s Changemakers, our inaugural list of people to watch in global tech, we hosted three panels on May 12, all tackling the question “Is anything local anymore? How regional tech’s solutions to local problems are resonating around the world.
