Digital information and communications technologies have revolutionized the ways in which knowledge and technical knowhow move around the world. Genetics and biotechnology are ushering in a new epoch of innovation in the fields of agriculture and human health. And the emergence of new finance and investment models, like social enterprise and venture capital, has helped turn knowledge into unprecedented wealth. Yet this proliferation of knowledge and expertise threatens to widen the gap between rich and poor throughout the world.
