Satya Nadella urge the participants to think of growth in terms of social inclusivity.
Satya Nadella Said :
“Inclusive growth… if I think about what it means for economic growth to include everyone. Today’s examples all around are tremendous…how do we make sure whatever growth we have, is aligned with the planet because that is one finite resource…or trust in technology…”.
He support the cause of “technology making a difference in community“, and exhort the participants to keep pushing the company to do more in helping achieve that mission.
