Taking the time now to collaborate , plan , and secure our world ’ s future prosperity , security , and health is a vital step for governments , businesses , and civic society .

As President of International Markets for Dell Technologies , I am pleased to introduce this research on how technology can be harnessed to benefit and support the next generations , as seen through the eyes of Gen Z .
