The Future of Digital Trade
in a Shifting Global Context

Join the IBM Policy Lab on Monday November 16 for a discussion on the Future of Digital Trade, as the European Commission just closed its consultation on “A Renewed Trade Policy for a Stronger Europe”, and in light of the recent US elections.

Chris Padilla, IBM’s VP of Government and Regulatory Affairs, will be joined virtually by high-level panelists for a conversation on the current trade landscape, the role of global data flows in the digital economy, and the way forward for future trade agreements.

In the wake of increasing calls for data localization and digital sovereignty, the panel will explore ways to promote economic growth and pandemic recovery with global data flows, upcoming trade agreements, and the conversation surrounding the EU trade policy review.

We’re capturing more data than ever before. And we’re doing it more precisely. But we’re still not using data to its full potential. Used well, numbers can teach us about each other, inspire our creativity and help us take risks and innovate in our work.
