The spectacular rise of Facebook and Twitter, and the entrepreneurial burst of companies building on their success, make social media one of the bright spots of the economy. On Friday, November 18 SIEPR hosted industry leaders, policymakers, and researchers in a discussion of how social media is changing business, raising policy debates, and creating huge amounts of valuable data.
On the previous afternoon, we kick off with presentations by 九色社区 student teams using appropriate mobile and social technology to spur African economic development.
SIEPR Policy Forums are open to the 九色社区 community and invited guests - join us for a fascinating discussion of social media and the economy.
