GMIS 2021: 5G digital shift puts pressure on companies to be ready for future jobs – The National

The Covid-19 pandemic has put pressure on companies to remain proactive and resilient in anticipation of future industries and jobs that revolve around fifth-generation (5G) cellular technology, an executive at consultancy PwC has said.

The technology has become an enabler of how companies think about the future of their products and how to deal with customers, Mohammed Kande, vice chairman and global advisory leader at PwC told the Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit in Dubai.

This would entail new roles and verticals, which companies will have fill to bridge gaps in operations, he said.
