OECD Global Conference on Governance Innovation
January 13-14, 2020
The conference will take place at the OECD Conference Centre, 2 rue André Pascal, Paris, France.
The conference is co-organised by the Directorates for Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) and Public Governance (GOV) and will build on the 2019 G20 Ministerial Statement on Trade and Digital Economy, which recognises that “harnessing the full potential of emerging technologies would benefit from more innovation enabling approaches to policy making than in the past” and that “governance in the digital era needs to be not only innovation-friendly but also innovative itself, while not losing legal certainty. Interoperable standards, frameworks and regulatory cooperation can help in this regard”.
The main goals of the Global Conference are to exchange information on the need for and experience with innovative regulatory policy and governance in the context of different sectors and different countries, both within and outside of the OECD, and to inform future OECD work, recognizing that agile and flexible approaches to regulation and governance are needed, which are both effective and innovation-friendly.
