Geneva Day: Panel: “How to Govern Digital Interdependence” followed by formal launch of Swiss Digital Initiative Foundation

The speed of technological change and increasing interdependence requires new governance mechanisms. It is increasingly evident that digital tools and platforms, while being convenient, connected, and transparent also present critical risks. Few industries are exempt from the challenge of maintaining trust in an environment of rapidly evolving technology, vastly increased volume, availability and complexity of data. Are existing forms of institutional governance designed for the digital age?

Followed by the formal launch of the Swiss Digital Initiative, a long-term and sustainable process for safeguarding ethical standards in the digital world, which kicked-off in September 2019 in Geneva. On the occasion of the Forum in Davos, the Swiss Digital Initiative foundation will be formally launched and a first project presented.

This event is fully booked.
