Digital transformation is at a tipping point globally, with the divisions between wealthy and developing nations especially stark. The vast majority (96%) of the world’s unconnected people live in developing countries. Digitalisation can also be used to compromise democracy, freedom of speech and human rights. Global co-operation is required to manage the interconnected risks realise rewards.
Join us on April 8th to to hear international leaders discuss how policies and practices can unleash the power of digital transformation to drive global recovery and shared prosperity. The findings of the OECD Development Co-operation Report 2021: Shaping a Just Digital Transformation (oe.cd/DCR2021), will inform discussions.
The OECD Secretary-General will open a series of panel discussions with policy makers, experts and organisational leaders to discuss how to capitalise on the current opportunity to shape a just digital transformation that supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris Climate Agreement and other international aims.
