Description
This session will explore whether investment in support of digital transformation can offer common ground for strengthening international cooperation. Despite rising geopolitical tensions, the digital transition remains a shared priority across economies. The session aims to feature ongoing OECD work on FDI Qualities Indicators and digital transformation. Speakers will explore how policy frameworks can stay agile to support investment in fast-changing digital technologies, while ensuring inclusive, sustainable digital transformation. They will also consider whether current approaches balance openness with national security – especially around sensitive data and strategic technologies – and identify key policy gaps. The conversation will also reflect on how global collaboration on digital FDI policies can continue to thrive despite deepening techno-geopolitical rivalry.
