It was a privilege to celebrate Microsoft's partnership with the Higher Education Commission in Pakistan and to launch the 2019 Imagine Cup with Abid Zaidi and HEC Chairman Tariq Banuri. Good luck to all the teams! #ImagineCup https://t.co/uVIFxXfczP

Clear warning of a crisis whose solution will require accelerated public sector reforms and private sector investments. Question is whether governments in the region can drive the necessary transformation.

Government digital transformation is hard, but the challenges in developed markets make clear it is not too late for governments in MEA to embark on the journey. Key is political leadership to drive the transformation.

I spend a lot of time talking with customers about the benefits of cloud computing, including better security.  Feels like it should be an easier conversation when an unlocked storage closet is the status quo.  #cloudcomputing https://t.co/SgBfdgOqfT https://t.co/epnswPpNiB

[Mike Yeh @Miyeh]

Innovative tech from @afrikred that uses solar and cloud services to connect the unconnected, provide citizen services, charge phones, and create jobs. Thanks @HenriNyakarundi for the vision (and the demo)! #cloudforgood

Microsoft’s @Miyeh: “We're in the midst of a fourth industrial revolution. It’s not too late. It’s a challenge for everyone even for countries likes the US. We need to think of a holistic approach when we speak about digital skills.” #Coding4Employment #AIS2018

Excited to see Microsoft's cloud footprint expand in MEA with Azure Stack now availble in 17 countries in region and new datacenters coming in South Africa and UAE https://t.co/qrRNAcSjIK

GDPR will impact companies in Europe and those outside of Europe as it is likely to become a global baseline for privacy and putting consumers in control of their data. Good to see Microsoft investing in compliance - for ourselves and our customers. #GDPRcompliance https://t.co/WSgBo6xHtx

[Julie Brill @JulieSBrill]

Microsoft is committed to helping people control their own personal information. That's why we’re extending the rights at the heart of #GDPR to all of our customers around the world. https://t.co/0hkwv67iuC
