The role that digital transformation plays in building a just and democratic society, as well as a strong economy, was mentioned by the Deputy Minister of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy of Cyprus, Kyriakos Kokkinos, at the Economist conference in Athens.

Speaking at the panel discussion on "Digital transformations in progress"[/I], Mr. Kokkinos discussed the vital importance of the dual digital and green transition in building a sustainable and more resilient growth model.

In this context, he noted that the focus of digital transformation, which will boost stability and prosperity, should be the citizen.

As Kokkinos said, "the successful implementation of digital transformation requires that we invest in parallel and equally in four key pillars: in e-government and digitisation of services, in digital infrastructure and connectivity, in modern skills for the workforce, and in the digital capacity of enterprises".

The Deputy Minister noted that the adoption of such a digital transformation model serves the goal of "a just, democratic and inclusive society and a strong economy based on knowledge, innovation and technological development, creating quality jobs and standing firm against the global challenges that currently threaten its sustainability".

On the sidelines of the Economist conference, Mr Kokkinos held meetings and contacts with his counterparts, government officials and international business leaders.
