These include most importantly the thousands of Police first-responders who have gone out of their way to save the lives of victims of road crashes. The Staff and Board members of SaveLIFE Foundation have worked closely with donors, partners, corporate supporters, friends in the media, and community volunteers to give voice to the bereaved families that have been affected, so that solutions can be found in order that other lives can be saved. As Margaret Mead once said ”Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For indeed, that’s all who ever have.” We therefore take strength from the many caring people who have been part of this journey with us. And we thank you for your commitment and dedication to this important cause. Without you, we would not be where we are.

Yiannouka, Chief Executive Officer, World Innovation Summit for Education (moderator) The Fourth Industrial Revolution will dramatically alter the employer-employee dynamic and usher in the Chrome Age – an era that will be marked by the increasing proliferation of machines, automation and augmented reality. The new status quo may be increas- ingly contractual, as employers reach out to the “human cloud” for labour rather than hire individual employees to work in traditional offices. As with any major technological change, automated labour will render some 20th Century industries redundant and simultaneously create new, productive sectors of the economy. However, this meta- morphosis of employment and of work itself will present unprecedented challenges to policymakers, companies and workers.
