Technology is fueling urban development across emerging markets in significant ways. But there's no formula to follow. Professor John Macomber takes us inside the unique challenges and opportunities facing cities — old and new — and the environment-specific solutions required to effectively leverage tech.

What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur in a developing country? According to Professor Tarun Khanna, it's all about partnerships. Partnerships are essential for entrepreneurs working here in Boston, and even more so in places like Bangalore and Bogota — where institutions to support new ventures are often missing or underdeveloped.

India is undergoing a “digital revolution." But not everyone is along for the ride. Research from Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and IDEO.org explores how human-centered design can move the needle on digital products and services reaching overlooked populations.

While satellites may be some of our most impressive technology, they are bogged down by a single bottleneck — data. Satellites orbiting Earth routinely struggle to relay data back down to Earth in a timely manner, with sizable implications for the real world, on the ground economy. This is why companies like Analytical Space are hoping to tap into the big data space revolution that is just waiting to happen.

Space missions today are an increasing mix of public and private ventures. But what happens when the worst happens and something goes wrong? Who pays for the costly damage? Take a look inside a surprisingly important piece of the space sector puzzle — insurance.

There’s no question that the space industry is undergoing drastic change, but how do you create the proper incentives for success with so many interdependent business models within the space sector? Professor Matt Weinzierl offers his advice using the classic game theory model the “stag hunt.”

The internet makes distance less a problem for conducting business, but geography still matters in the digital age. Professor Shane Greenstein explains why.

Quartz’s Zach Seward takes a look at the interfaces we use to consume information and communicate with technology and remarks that as our familiarity with technology changes over time, so too does the form that technology takes. What shapes will digital (and physical) interfaces take in the future? That is the question.

As customer demand for greater computing power and product customizations grows, Intel must ask itself, “What is the future the computing supply chain?” and find a way to stay relevant as microprocessors gain further dominance.

As tempting as it is to think only of the shiny, exciting advancements that technology provides (here’s looking at you, AI), the reality is that most organizations are in need of more basic digital transformation. Nowhere is this truer than in the healthcare industry, where IT systems that support process improvement and innovation are hard to come by. This article from the Harvard Business Review makes the case for importance of IT management and data interoperability within healthcare and argues that such investments can both lower costs and improve quality.
