Delivering on the Digital Dividend: Challenges and Opportunities Ahead for the Private Sector

Digital technologies continue to transform nearly every aspect of our business and personal lives, from the use of payment technologies to manufacturing production lines and the ways we write, read and communicate. This transformation is happening despite, or maybe because of, the crises we face. Digitalisation reshapes the economy and disrupts traditional industries, and allows us to address the geopolitical, economic and social challenges ahead. Yet, delivering on the digital dividend in a cyber safe environment requires a “system upgrade”. And that “system upgrade” is the focus of this event. The EBRD has made the digitalisation of its economies and its clients a major priority, by launching a digital strategy for the years ahead and upgrading the support to clients and investors in their digital ambitions. This panel brings together leading voices in digital change, including investors, business and policy leaders, to discuss key questions around new technologies and the digital world. They also explore issues related to digital transition in EBRD economies, such as market concentration, risks to cybersecurity and the fear of automation.
