[Innovation Breakthrough] What is digital resilience? What impact does it have on countries, businesses, and the public?

How long can you go without the internet? The strong earthquake in Hualien on April 3 this year was the strongest earthquake in Taiwan in 25 years since the 921 earthquake, bringing our attention back to the risk of network outages. However, many netizens shared on the Threads platform that this earthquake did not cause long-term power outages or internet interruptions; this also prompts us to reflect: what exactly is digital resilience? In the face of natural disasters or emergencies, what key role does resilient infrastructure play for the country, businesses, and citizens?
