on their path to creating
an environment conducive to innovations.

Digital technologies develop rapidly...
Implementing them once does not mean 'forever'.

Conductivity to digital innovations is not about mastering specific technologies, it is about the wholistic knowledge of their combinatory economic and social impact, and encouraging responsible and socially balanced technological progress.
