DAVOS, Switzerland -- IBM's chief gave an optimistic take on the outlook for the technology industry here on Wednesday at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, a view that is at odds with more pessimistic prevailing assessments of the global economy.
The tech industry will be 2% to 4% "faster growing than GDP," IBM Chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna said in a group interview, adding that he is "more optimistic than some of the economists" on the overall global economic outlook.
