The responsibility is constantly thinking
about others, and thinking about how
you make an impact, a positive impact,
on society.
We have to prepare society for the changes
that are coming, and they’re coming. You
can stick your head in the sand and say
„no, it’s dark”.
No, it’s not, and we have to prepare society
for those changes.
We have to talk to people, we have to
spend a lot of time on communication, as
well as proposing solutions. We have to
propose protocols, and we have to propo-
se easy tools in order to do them. So, that’s
why we do that.
David is talking about it, writing about it.
About the future of taxation, the future of
money, and at the same time acknowled-
ging that we’re living in a complex world.
It’s not black and white.
There’s only grey, and this grey has to be
considered with a lot of precaution, edu-
cation, and time, to comply and adapt to
change because it’s never about technology.
I’m even saying that as someone from a
technology company.
It’s never about technology.
It’s always about people.
That’s why the people are at the centre of
everything that we’re doing, in every
discussion that we have with decision
makers, and with this grassroots move-
ment.
It’s always people in the middle, and it’s
always about providing solutions for pe-
ople. We say the same to governments and
decision makers: we have to transform the
way we govern, and how we adapt in this
new era, in 2030 or 2050.
As a government, as a service.
Some countries are at the forefront, and
some are further behind, so we have to
continue educating and discussing, and
not give up even if the discussions are dif-
ficult. We have to stay positive.
To continue striving to create make an
impact, and leave a better world for our
children than the one we had.
We talked about my grandfather, and the
generations that went through wars. We
never went through that, at least in France,
and we’re lucky in that sense. But, there
are other places in the world that do, pla-
ces of poverty, poor healthcare, education
... It’s a big world, and there are many pe-
ople to take care of.
So, we are trying to do our best at Pillar
to create innovations that will radically
change society in a positive way.
VoB: I’m really impressed. At the Uncon-
ference, each moment is like opening a
Christmas present, and the impatience of
waiting.
Tomer: Not only that. This is something
very important, very dear to our hearts.
The next 15-20 years are going to be
radically different than the last, and it’s
our job at the bleeding edge of technology,
to innovate.
It’s our responsibility.
We talked about it earlier. It’s being capa-
ble of changing things, and it’s a huge gift,
but at the same time a huge responsibility.
