Spotlight on GK3: Reaching the 'Bottom of the Pyramid'
Orlando Ayala, Senior Vice President, Unlimited Potential Group, Microsoft Corporation, says "Technology is a powerful amplifier for people's ideas and imagination. Although it is one piece of the solution to economic growth in emerging markets, it supports nearly every other aspect of development, and is critical investment for any country seeking to nurture growth and create new opportunities."

Davies, Vice President, Sales and Marketing Group / General Manager, World Ahead, Intel Corporation; Valerie Faudon, Vice President, Programs, Alcatel Corporate Marketing Office, Paris; and Bonsal Glascock, President and Chief Operating Officer, iMalls Global, Inc. in the Emerging Markets Plenary on ' Emerging Markets: Is There a Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid?'
