Explore GTFThree Pillars. One Global Agenda.
Governance
Data governance, equitable frameworks, and a global “grand bargain” on data
As nations strive to harness the benefits of digital transformation, “data governance” has emerged as a critical theme to address widening economic disparities between developed and developing countries, necessitating a more cooperative, equitable and responsible approach to governance and regulatory frameworks that optimize outcomes of a potential “grand bargain” around data and its use globally.
Trusted Tech
Trusted technology, digital sovereignty, and global standards
As concerns over the concentration of key technologies in a few economies grow, nations are adopting sovereignty-driven policies to preserve autonomy. How can these efforts incorporate trusted technology while maintaining global cooperation on policy, standards, and supply chains that ensure affordability and broader technological access?
International Cooperation
Workforce, inclusion, and multistakeholder cooperation
The rapid pace of digital transformation has direct implications that go beyond the technology that powers it, changing the nature of work, health, and other core pillars of everyday life. Optimizing the outcomes of these changes will depend on strategic partnerships that leverage a multistakeholder approach to both short- and long-term problem solving, focused on shared incentives.
