Digital technologies represent unprecedented opportunities for our economies and societies. Technological innovations in the digital space are raising productivity, fostering creativity, and boosting innovation. The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the digital transformation of our economies and heightened challenges tied to this evolution such as privacy, digital security and safety, as well as the need for secure and sustainable digital infrastructures. We advocate for consistent and coherent digital policy frameworks, based on OECD global standards for digital, more important than ever to maximize the benefits of data driven innovation for all. Business at OECD promotes a multi-stakeholder approach and actively participates to the OECD work by offering business perspective and evidence on digital issues. Our members are fully engaged in the development of the necessary OECD evidence based comprehensive policy frameworks promoting investment in innovative digital technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain, and their supporting ecosystems, networks and infrastructure. Online security and privacy, and benefits to Internet users and consumers are priorities for our members in the development of a global policy framework.

OECD Committee for Digital Economy Policy (CDEP)
OECD Working Party on Data Governance and Privacy (DGP)
