COVID-19 has impacted our lives and the economy in ways we could not have anticipated in January. The good news is that the tech sector is providing solutions during the pandemic with innovations that are keeping us connected, productive and entertained as we social distance. In this issue, we look at the new workplace that has sprung up in response to the pandemic. Our Innovator is an entrepreneur with more than 20 years of industry experience, Deena Ghazarian. We look at services for electric vehicles that will use real-time data from the vehicle and vehicles operating in its vicinity to enhance the driving experience further. And we take a look at 5G tech and some of the challenges and opportunities with the current rollout.
