About The Episode

One of the avenues that this podcast has organically started to explore are the different emerging industries that we are seeing more and more of today. The reason for this is that not only will they lead to substantial job growth over time, they may actually be a space for the industries that are seeing their jobs being replaced by automation technologies today. In today’s discussion the Virtual Economy is introduced for the first time on the podcast. My guest, Giorgio Tarraf is the Technology Intelligence Director at L’Atelier BNP Paribas, and he comes on to explain what the virtual economy is, what are some of the benefits and opportunities it holds for individuals, how it is enabling new forms of work, what its future might look like, and more.
