 Welcome to the ITU studio in Geneva. I'm very pleased to be joined in the studio today by Dr. Jean-Pierre Ofré, who is director of research partnerships for the School of Business, George Mason University, USA, and also co-founder and vice president of the International Academy of CIO. Dr. Ofré, thank you very much for keeping with us today. Thank you, Max. It's a great pleasure being with you today and also being with ITU for the week and contributing to the ITU-ICT for SDG project. Now, this year we're celebrating the 25th anniversary of the ITU development sector. The ICT landscape has changed tremendously, as we know in the past decades. ITU are also launching a new ICT for SDG study, and I wanted to ask you, how do you think this study on ICT for SDGs will contribute to responding to many of today's challenges? Well, the changes in the landscape have provided great opportunities. Just in the last 25 years, many countries have developed national fiber backbone networks. Most countries now have national ICT plans, and also in the 25 years have been the advent of mobile and mobile broadband and internet. At the same time, some of the challenges have shifted too. There's been an increasing urbanization, increasing preponderance of chronic illness, and with mobile phones and the internet and sensors building upon these backbone networks, countries now are well-placed along with the private sector and civil society for addressing some of the challenges that they face. The UN and ITU through the sustainability development goals have structured some of the challenges, and that too provides a means and a pathway for identifying how ICT can contribute. Now, there are several studies and debates on how ICT's key enabler to economic growth and innovation. Can you tell us more on the main outcomes of this study and its added value to the existing discussions, and specifically its contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals? Well, we're hopefully building upon these previous studies and all of the wonderful work which has been done both at ITU and UN, but by many other NGOs and private sector organizations. I think this study, building upon the others, has a focus or a greater focus on innovation and also pathways both for the development part of the goals, but also for the sustainability aspects. And finally, you are leading the experts work under Chapter 5, which covers the challenges and opportunities of adopting a new ICT-enabled business models. Perhaps you could elaborate a little bit on the main findings of this chapter and how ICT can support innovative solutions to contributing to the STGs. With mobile and with mobile broadband, there's a lot greater connectivity and accessibility and availability for technology, for populations across the world. So far we've seen many different approaches to business, many different types of businesses, and also many different approaches to government and government solutions to major problems in developed countries, but also Africa, Latin America, Asia. And by building upon those, we think that there's great possibility for addressing some of the sustainability development goals, bringing real value to people in a way that is economically viable and in a way that bridges and aligns the motivations of civil society, private sector and private sector profitability, as well as government and government policy. Dr. Verywell, thank you very much for sharing these valuable insights with us, and we look forward to the report being out very shortly. Thank you. Thank you very much, Max. Thank you.
