Based on the achievements and commitments of past Presidencies, and acknowledging of the impact of the pandemic on the economy, employment and the wellbeing of our societies, the Italian Presidency decided to place digitalisation at the center of the G20 discussions.
The Digital Economy will be a core topic, as will Digital Government. Key goals are: further harnessing the potential of digitalisation for a resilient, sustainable and inclusive recovery, keeping pace with the profound transformation that digitalisation has generated in the economy and society, and bridging inequalities.
The collaborative process among G20 Ministers was taken forward by the Digital Economy Task Force (DETF) and will culminate on August 5th in the Trieste Ministerial meeting.
The key topics related to the digital economy to be addressed during the working sessions are as follows:
– Digital transformation in production for sustainable growth
– Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence for MSME Inclusiveness and the Promotion of Startups
– Measurement of the Digital Economy
– Consumers Awareness and Protection and Blockchain in Global Value Chains
– Child Protection and Empowerment in the Digital Environment
– Connectivity and Social Inclusion
– Smart Cities and Innovation
– Data Free Flow with Trust
