The year 2022 has started as another COVID-19 year.
However, in 2022 the pandemic might have a lower impact on economies and societies compared with the two previous years. There are also some important lessons learned from COVID-19.
For example, digital services offered concrete solutions to deal with social distancing measures. The pandemic proved that modern digital infrastructure availability and affordability could make the difference for societies in any part of the world. Public and private sector resources were used to address some of the most compelling connectivity challenges.
Going towards a post-pandemic era, governments, industry and societies around the world can however still expect several challenges and opportunities. The main trends identified in the digital sectors are briefly discussed in this report across the three pillars of the Global Trends service: connectivity, tech platforms, and the data economy.
