Shaping the future of the digital economy
Organized by UNCTAD in collaboration with eTrade for all partners, the UNCTAD eWeek 2023 will be held from 4 to 8 December 2023 in Geneva , at the CICG (International Conference Center of Geneva) under the theme ‘ Shaping the future of the digital economy ’.
Considering that digitalization is one of the most influential mega-trends that will not only affect development outcomes in the short and medium term, but also determine the future we live in, the international community needs more than ever to find ways to close the digital divides and create frameworks that enable the digital economy to generate inclusive, equitable and sustainable development .
During the week, Ministers, senior government officials, CEOs and other business leaders, international organizations, development banks, academia and civil society will come together to address 3 key questions:
- What does the future we want for the digital economy look like?
- What is required to make that future come true?
- How can digital partnerships and enhanced cooperation contribute to more inclusive and sustainable outcomes?
Throughout the various sessions, emphasis will be given to:
-
- Innovation: to offer a unique and fresh perspective to the discussion on the future of the digital economy
- The identification of scalable good practices and possible policy avenues
- Concrete actions and actionable steps to help shape an inclusive and sustainable future of the digital economy.
