Emerging Technology

Course description

The digital divide is real and presents a significant problem for those who feel they are getting ‘left behind’ or find it difficult to understand how businesses are becoming more digitally enabled.

Furthermore, it has never been more important to employ technologies that increase efficiency, sustainability, and reputation due to changes brought on by pandemics, remote working, climate change, supply chain instability, and D&I difficulties. On a day-to-day basis, many educators struggle to fully comprehend what new technologies can do for organisations and entrepreneurs.

In light of this, MKAI is dedicated to actively bridging the digital divide by assisting individuals in developing their confidence in speaking about transformative or emerging technologies and applying this new information and enthusiasm to their work. We accomplish this by collaborating with institutions to offer engaging, hands-on workshops that demonstrate how the most recent technologies can immediately solve real-world challenges. We simplify the principles while making the technologies approachable.
