“there is no greater indicator of an innovative culture than the empowerment of women.”
Alec J. Ross, The Industries of the Future

“the next wave will challenge middle classes across the globe, threatening to return many to poverty. The previous wave saw entire countries and societies lifted up economically. The next wave will take frontier economies and bring them into the economic mainstream while challenging the middle classes in the most developed economies.”
Alec J. Ross, The Industries of the Future

“Big data is transitioning from a tool primarily for targeted advertising to an instrument with profound applications for diverse corporate sectors and for addressing chronic social problems.”
Alec J. Ross, The Industries of the Future
