The world around us is witnessing change at an accelerating pace. This presents a scenario of increasing complexity and risks, but also affords great opportunities and potential benefits. Governments will need to actively spot emerging trends in order to position themselves to enhance competitiveness, capture market opportunities, spur innovation and minimize risks. Countries will need to anticipate and embrace change in order to profit from it. New information and communication technologies are an essential part of the emerging future. Moldova aspires to leverage such technologies for catalyzing growth, spurring innovation and transforming governance. In this context it seeks to benefit from the insights of leading international experts and thought leaders in identifying emerging trends, and developing strategies for the future. Moldova was the first country to join the World Bank's e-Transform initiative and is benefiting from the experience and expertise of leading e-government practitioners and experts from around the world. The Government of Moldova in partnership with the World Bank now proposes to conduct a workshop with a select group of international experts in order to understand emerging ICT trends, foster new thinking, develop new perspectives and challenge existing mindsets.
