Technology enables individuals to build institutions: Microsoft chief

Singapore

THE chief executive of Microsoft said on Friday that digital technology has become increasingly relevant in people's lives and that efforts should be made to spread the benefits of digital technology more evenly.

Satya Nadella, who is on his first visit to Singapore since taking Microsoft's helm in 2014, said the tech giant thinks "deeply about how digital technology not only empowers the individual, but also empowers the individuals to build institutions that outlast them".
