ABOUT THE EVENT
New technologies continue to challenge traditional paths to industrialization, such as export-led manufacturing. But at the same time, they may offer new routes for development in services and the knowledge economy. Over the last 18 months, CGD has convened a group of experts to assess how rapidly these changes will emerge, whether potential positive or negative consequences will dominate, and under what circumstances.
Please join us for expert discussions on several of the themes that have emerged from this group, including what the growing role of automation means for the future of the export-led model; how governments can support competition in digital markets; and how policymakers can foster innovation and growth while protecting their citizens against abuse through sound data governance.
