Theme: Youths and The Challenges of the Knowledge Economy
Long before the turn of the millennium, it was very clear that its dynamics will be very different from those men are used to. The norms and theories upon which the old millennium thrived have now given way to new ones. Land, Labour and Capital are no longer the dominant factors of production but have been replaced with KNOWLEDGE and TECHNOLOGY.
As has been witnessed in the short span of this millennium, it is only those that are adequately prepared and empowered with the right technology that are able to cope and hold their heads in the knowledge economy. Ensuring that everyone, especially the youth, is adequately empowered to compete favorably in this new and still emerging economy is a challenge for everyone.
The 3rd Young Expert Forum will make the participants better equipped to face the challenges of this KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY noting in particular the opportunities and trends in technology.
Join the KNOWLEDGE NETWORK as it explores the challenges of the KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY!
