In this Seminar, Brazil invites governments, international organizations and experts to share visions and experiences in building capabilities to ensure security in the digital economy.
About
The Brazilian G20 Presidency is committed to fostering a debate on the digital economy where technology’s transformative potential becomes a force for inclusive development. Brazil's G20 priorities builds upon the successes of previous presidencies, aiming to promote an inclusive and human-centered approach that ensures visibility of the priorities of the Global South.
Under the Digital Economy Working Group (DEWG), Brazil has made digital government one of its main priorities. The aim is to understand how digital government policies and services can enhance governments’ relationship with citizens, enable high-quality public services, and leverage the opportunities of the digital economy. In addition, there is also potential of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), such as digital identity and data sharing solutions, to be powerful tools in making public services more inclusive and user-centered.
In this Seminar, Brazil invites governments, international organizations and experts to discuss how G20 countries can foster digital security in meaningful connectivity, increase the population’s awareness of digital security and ensure security in the digital economy as a whole, whether on platforms of digital government, in communication networks, in organizations’ computer systems or in digital services offered to the population.
The Seminar aims to encourage discussions and share best practices among the international community. The main objective is to identify successful public policies, practices and experiences that can be used or serve as inspiration in building institutional capacities and regulatory frameworks to ensure security in the digital economy.
Interactive discussions and the exchange of experiences between participants will be encouraged throughout the Seminar. Collaboration with international organizations, the third sector and academia, as well as public-private partnerships, will be crucial to enrich the debate and help effectively build these capabilities.
The event will be a unique opportunity to strengthen cooperation between G20 members, share knowledge among the international community, and drive development towards a digital economy that has digital security and meaningful connectivity as two of its essential aspects.
