Navigating the world of data diplomacy

Panel discussion

15 September 2020Online Webinar

Data – both personal and non-personal - is at the core of digital transformation. It is an essential resource for economic growth and competitiveness. The EU aspires to lead in data-driven innovation by setting clear rules on data access and use. But given the importance of free data flows for global economy, it is clear that rules set in any part of the world have implications for other countries. The focus of this session is on exploring the consequences of these policies for the global economy, how to harness the opportunities, and navigate potential political tensions.
