Fireside Chat with Dr. David Bray and Lucy Turnbull, AO

By Atlantic Council

Dr. David Bray, Director of the GeoTech Center, recently joined Lucy Turnbull, AO, former Lord Mayor of Sydney Australia and GeoTech Fellow, on an episode of the Public Sector Network fireside chat series. These two GeoTech experts discussed the ways in which technology and data will shape societies around the world in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, both leaders commented on how previous pandemics such as the 1918 Spanish Flu triggered waves of change throughout global society, in part brought to fruition by evolving technologies. In the same way, we must anticipate a similar period of turbulence in the coming years, considering what pivot point of history that COVID might form.

Automaker electric vehicle plans ‘progressing at a rapid pace’ despite pandemic, economic downturn

By Julia Pyper

The global electric vehicle (EV) market is going through a rough patch amid the COVID-19 outbreak. The pandemic led to economy-wide lockdowns and supply chain disruptions across the automotive industry. Coupled with a historic decline in oil prices that brought down gasoline prices, these factors are likely to put a significant dent in EV sales in the near term. But automakers are not turning away from the EV market despite recent setbacks. To signal their intent, several major auto industry executives have taken steps to underscore their commitment to vehicle electrification coming out of the pandemic slump.
