The accelerating pace of technological innovation is driving global competition and has resulted in tremendous breakthroughs over the past decade. As COVID-19 has increased the reliance on digital solutions, digitalization has become recognized as one of the key drivers of economic growth. However, in order to actualize ICT’s potential to address global challenges, there needs to be a global consensus on policies and a regulatory framework that enables growth and competitiveness and evolves along with the advent of technological advances. BCIU provides a platform for business and government to engage on ICT investments, innovations, and policies in order to form and strengthen partnerships.
In the summer of 2019, BCIU in partnership with AT&T hosted a government forum in Washington, D.C. on cybersecurity and innovation, highlighting the importance of public and private sector cooperation to improve the digital landscape.
