Few innovations have the potential to shape the global landscape as profoundly as 5G. Yet both the technology itself and its likely transformative impacts remain widely misunderstood.

At the same time, the pandemic has brought to the forefront the vital role local communities can and do play in responding to global shocks. As such, COVID-19 provides an opportunity to examine the effectiveness of capacity-building efforts at the grassroots level: from empowering entrepreneurs to investing in small and medium-sized enterprises and fostering sustainable growth sectors.

You will hear from pioneers in agriculture, off-grid energy, entrepreneurship, and impact finance and learn how targeted private sector investment has helped strengthen local capacity across the continent to weather the coronavirus crisis [RSVP Here]( OTHER HAPPENINGS [In Case You Missed It: 5G Explained]( Revisit the first installment in our Power Map series, a comprehensive assessment of the business-critical risks and opportunities presented by 5G. The discussion surrounding the ongoing development of 5G cellular networks has evoked intense anticipation, deep-seated fear, and general confusion. 5G has the power to be a transformative technology, but it is widely misunderstood. Barclays’s polling found that only 28 percent of businesses know what 5G is and what it could do. This gap creates a competitive advantage for companies that are better able to understand 5G and craft effective 5G strategies. In our 5G series, FP Analytics analyzes three distinct aspects of 5G—technology and infrastructure, the global competitive landscape, and national security—that are essential to fully understanding the evolving industry and the range of commercial and geopolitical implications. → Access to our library of Power Maps (like 5G Explained) and Special Reports is included with an FP Insider subscription.
