Making Digital Globalization Inclusive

January 23, 2019 16:00

Digital flows now exert a larger impact on GDP growth than merchandise trade, making it easier for companies to globalize with less capital-intensive business models, yet also opening new digital divides. How can we ensure that digital globalization is broad-based and inclusive?

On the Forum Agenda:
- Addressing new digital divides
- Strengthening small and medium-sized enterprises
- Adapting international trade regimes to digital demands

This session was developed in partnership with The Washington Post.

This session will be livestreamed on TopLink and the Forum website.
