A PEOPLE-SAVVY TERRITORY
Cascais extends a warm welcome to all WSA participants. For more than six centuries we have been one of the most innovative areas of the country. Maybe it’s because we have people from all over the world on our borders. Cascais was the first place in the country to have street lighting. The first oceanographic expeditions set sail from Cascais. Cascais hosted that the country’s first football match and its first tennis match. We love to innovate. It’s in our blood. We are leading the soft mobility revolution in Portugal. We were pioneers in introducing environmentally sustainable solutions in household waste management. We are paving the way for social housing reform and we are in the front line in including technology in people’s social lives and harmonising automation and humanity, utility and purpose. Because, at the end of the day, there is no point in innovating if the development of people and society is not our priority. As you will soon realise, everything starts with people in Cascais. Carlos Carreiras Mayor of Cascais

THE POWER OF PURPOSE – CONTENT DRIVEN DIGITAL INNOVATION CLOSING DIVIDES
WELCOME TO THE WSA19 GLOBAL CONGRESS! WELCOME TO CASCAIS! The challenge is and remains worldwide: bridging divides ... be it disparities in access to water and energy, gender inequality and educational opportunities, or in digital terms, whether it concerns access, content or technology. The global divides are manifold and affect us all. In the case of economic equality and justice, the divides increase dramatically, nationally and globally. In the case of climate crisis and global warming, we see that the divides will separate those who survive from those who might not. In the face of such societal challenges, how can digital solutions and interactive applications make a positive contribution? How can purpose driven innovation disrupt current nefarious developments? And what benefits are hidden in the digital transformation? If their intention is driven by over-arching purposes, digital content and technology have the potential to create more equal, just, and above all, sustainable societies. The focus on solving local challenges enables a positive added value for societies globally. I welcome you to the WSA Global Congress. WSA and its Portuguese partners APDC, the City of Cascais and Nova SBE bring together digital creatives and social entrepreneurs from all corners of the world whose focus is purpose before profit. At the WSA Global Congress you will participate in a transformative learning journey and join a global, multi-stakeholder community. You will discuss the possibilities of purpose driven inno-
6
vation and see best-practice from around the world. This event presents an exceptional mix of local projects from which we all learn globally. You will meet 45 award-winning teams with their apps and solutions, carefully selected in a three-stage jury process by outstanding international experts. WSA awardees are impacting the daily lives of millions by meeting deeply rooted needs. They stand out in the ability to combine smart content, social aims and digital innovation. WSA awardees are winners because they solve real problems. Among them you find agricultural support systems from Bangladesh and Kenya presented side by side with block chain solutions for refugees; be inspired by new ways of virtual healthcare and health education through AR technology from Lebanon, Ireland and India; explore IoT solutions for the disabled from Slovenia, Georgia and Qatar; discover how projects from South America transform labour market access. In over 15 years, WSA has a proven record of accomplishment within the framework of the United Nations’ World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) 2003-2025, mandated by the government of Austria since 2003 and implementing the 2005 WSIS Plan of Action. WSA is organised in collaboration with UN organisations such as UNESCO, UNIDO, UNCTAD, UNDESA and ITU. By building a unique global network of national and corporate experts, NGOs, governments and
professional associations, WSA presents quality content and digital innovation from over 180 UN-member states and supports a global movement for sustainable digital solutions. I invite you to open your mind, to engage and explore. The three-day program lets you become part of a global community of people committed to using digital technologies as innovative content drivers for the UN SDG’s. The City of Cascais has been a winner of WSA in 2017. With its smart digital solutions for citizens and visitors, Cascais is a pioneer of focus on social benefit, making it one of the world’s most liveable cities. Being a hub for education and innovation, I invite you to enjoy the striking premises of the Nova SBE Campus. APDC has been a most valuable partner and represented WSA in Portugal for many years, proving that digital solutions from Portugal can set international benchmarks. Please join me in thanking these and all the WSA Global Congress Partners for providing a unique stage to this year’s outstanding purpose driven digital entrepreneurs and creative teams. Engage in and share the power of smart, digital and social solutions. I wish you three great days in Portugal. Prof. Dr. Peter A. Bruck Chairperson, on behalf of the WSA Board of Directors and the WSA Team

WSA GLOBAL CONGRESS CASCAIS 2019 8
The difficult employment situation of many young women and men has become one of the most important challenges of our times. Estimates show that in the next 15 years, 600 million jobs will need to be created for young people worldwide. It is imperative that we empower young people as the demand for new skills increases in an era of rapid technological progress driven by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. More than onethird of the skills relevant for today’s socio-economic development are anticipated to change by 2020. Our young people must be equipped with new skills to prepare them for the future of work and skills. They need to be provided with possibilities for continuous learning, and an enabling environment for innovative ideas to be converted into concrete practical solutions on the ground. It is encouraging that many young people today are already contributing to inclu-
PATRON STATEMENTS sive and sustainable development, by turning their innovative ideas into new businesses that also benefit the society at large. The World Summit Awards (WSA) initiative provides a platform to showcase the potential of youth, their innovative solutions and their entrepreneurial spirit, ultimately bringing about social change. These new innovative business models will become more important than ever, as we find ways to tap into the opportunities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to create win-win situations for our young people, and in particular for those who live and work in developing countries. UNIDO commends the WSA for providing visibility to these talented young entrepreneurs and stands ready to support young people worldwide to realize their full innovative potentials.
Today’s young people are interconnected more than ever before. In fact, they have more access to information than any other generation. Consequently, it should be natural to include young people in decision-making processes that affect their lives. Young people are change-makers, innovators and leaders. Among other factors, technology is crucial to unleash young people’s creativity and power to actively contribute to solving global issues. Young people used ICT and social media to do amazing things: amplify their voices; discuss global issues; lead opinions; spread positive energies; start movements; build campaigns. Therefore, it’s important for us and the society to recognize their potential and encourage them to actively engage in the implementation of the SDGs and #Youth2030, the UN youth strategy.

The World Summit Award Congress Cascais 2019 is the recognition of the important role digital innovation plays in creating sustainable social change and impact world-wide. This event is taking place in the new campus of NOVASBE (School of Business and Economics of the NOVA University of Lisbon). The tremendous challenge that the digital revolution presents to mankind asks for definite answers from governments and societies. The Portuguese government has created a long term initiative called INCODe.2030 that aims at fostering inclusion, education, qualification, specialisation and research. This initiative is being carried out with contributions from several government departments, private companies, local authorities, and the scientific and technological ecosystem in Portugal. We welcome all contributions from the society as a whole, at national and international level. It is therefore with great enthusiasm that I welcome the WSA World Congress to be held among us. It is critical that the whole population has equal access to digital technologies in order to obtain information, communicate and interact. The
10
younger population must be educated in a way that digital skills are present at every level of schooling and continue to be part of a lifelong learning. An entrepreneurial spirit is also a fundamental requirement to strive in a digital world. Digital skills must also be progressively acquired by the working population in order to remain competitive in a labour market that relies heavily on them. WSA presents a display of impressive digital projects from around the world embraced by entrepreneurs and aiming at improving the quality of our society while solving real life problems. More that 400 participants from 80 countries are expected to meet in Portugal at this 2019 World Summit, turning Cascais into a global hub for start-ups and content developers on the subject of "Social Impact through Digital Innovation". I hope this event can live up to its high standards giving a relevant contribution for a better society in the future to come.
Manuel Heitor, Minister of Science, Technology and Higher Education
PATRON STATEMENTS Driving innovation, building solid networks and engaging a diverse set of stakeholders is much of what we have done in Portugal with programs such as SIMPLEX (and its rebrand since 2016, SIMPLEX+) and the National Participatory Budget, both pioneer programs of their own right. It is by having that perspective that innovation is a never-ending story and that we will meet the future with the tools that we create today that we welcome the World Summit Awards and signal that we embrace its spirit of celebrating diversity and innovation to solve common problems – because by making the lives of our citizens better, by improving the business environment and by making public services more efficient through the implementation of the once-only principle, by sharing and reusing information, and by being able to implement predictive tools, we are building the foundations for a more sustainable and prosper future for all. Thank you for choosing Portugal, and please do come again: our doors are open, and we have a firm commitment not to leave anyone behind. Luís Goes Pinheiro, Secretary of State Assistant and of Administrative Modernisation

Sixteen years have passed since the UN World Summit on the Information Society (UN WSIS), a conference in Geneva that would bring about the World Summit Awards. We celebrate them today as a means to achieve the main goal for all those present at that meeting: to make Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) available to everyone and help close the gap between those included and those excluded from the digital revolution. We have seen tremendous progress since then when it comes to the reach, capacity, and development of ICTs – big data, predictive analysis, cloud computing and other elements recall previously existing concepts and build tools to transform them to suit the needs of an ever more demanding society with the objective of promoting its sustainability and prosperity. There is no better example of that fact than the Sustainable Development Goals, for which Portugal has found its own way to promote and reward with initiatives such as GovTech – a challenge that started in 2018 (and will continue in 2019) and which envisages rewarding creative and innovative business solutions that address one of the 17 SDGs.

Digital is the new standard. We are born, we learn, we communicate, we work, we live, with the support of digital technologies. If we want to create a better world, it will have to be using these technologies. If we want to prevent war, to create security, to foster economic growth, to increase social inclusion, we must leverage from digital skills and use them for good. Hence, entrepreneurs, governments, local authorities, established companies must cooperate and use digital technologies to solve real life problems, aiming at higher levels of citizenship and better standards of living. The WSA program and its World Summit Awards Congress Cascais 2019 will be a step in that direction. Another tribute to the role of digital technology and digital innovation for that better world we aim at creating. APDC, the Portuguese
12
Association that gathers the Telecommunications, IT and Media companies in Portugal, has organized this event in partnership with the Municipality of Cascais and with the NOVA School of Business and Economics, with the Support of the Portuguese Government and various Sponsoring and Strategic Partners locally and globally. It is our contribution to leverage from the new adventurous spirit of Portugal as “one of Europe’s hottest stars, with tech start-ups mushrooming and investment pouring in”, as The Wall Street Journal recently described us. We are looking forward to a great digital WSA experience at Cascais this year. Rogério Carapuça APDC President
PATRON STATEMENTS Vienna shall become the capital of digitization in Europe. We understand digitization as a rapid development that should serve the people, which is why we have to actively shape it. In Vienna, we do this together with our citizens, no matter how young or old they are. In the most liveable city in the world, everyone must have access to the benefits of digitization. Efficient and effective administrative structures are also very important to me. Whether it be to save costs, or to save the citizens’ time. To achieve this, we want to make greater use of opportunities and technologies. The WSA, as a global initiative linking digital and social, fits perfectly to the city of Vienna and we are happy that the event will be back in our city by 2020.
As a globally active group of industrial companies we are called upon to focus on megatrends such as digitalization, automation and artificial intelligence at an early stage. The international WSA network enables us to get external ideas and to access a great circle of young enterprises, innovative start-ups and o utof-the-box thinkers. We are excited that it is our second year cooperating with the WSA for the Josef Umdasch Research Prize. And we are again looking forward to deep dive into the world and spirit of young innovators. Dr. Andreas J. Ludwig, Executive Chairman Umdasch Group

WSA GRAND JURY ACCRA “It was a real eye-opener for me to learn of incredible products that are implemented in very specific markets. And yet, these ventures are generating incredible impact, without necessarily aspiring to go global. I found myself constantly judging these initiatives on their potential to become THE next big thing. It took me a while to understand that there is a difference between scaling, and conquering.”
Omri Boral
CEO and Co-Founder, Tech for Good, Israel
