This IDC Perspective discusses how islands can become leaders in digital innovation and effective sandboxes to pilot and then scale new and emerging technologies from 5G to digital twins. IDC research highlights several forward-thinking islands and technology vendors that are already seizing this opportunity; Madeira is one such island. This IDC Perspective highlights key takeaways from an executive interview between Andreia Rosa Collard (regional IT director of Madeira) and IDC analysts. "Islands can be viewed as sandboxes in which the social, economic, and environmental benefits and challenges of leveraging digital technology can be piloted and demonstrated. Island leaders who want to take advantage of this opportunity must ensure they have strong leadership and the right foundational governance, skills, and technologies in place," said Louisa Barker, senior research manager, IDC Government Insights Europe.
