G20 Digitalisation: Digital Policies for the Future Multi-stakeholder Conference 1. Overview Digitalisation is a driver of growth for both individual countries and the global economy as a whole. In particular, digital technologies can contribute to sustainable growth through innovation in products, processes and organisational transformations. Digital technologies offer new opportunities for businesses, workers and citizens to engage in economic and social activities. At the same time, not everyone is able to take advantage of this digital world equally. To unleash the potential that digitalisation can bring to innovation, growth and employment, it is important to identify existing barriers and to develop necessary conditions and frameworks to overcome these obstacles. In the2016 Hangzhou communiqué, G20 Leaders committed to make innovation a key element of their efforts to identify new engines of growth. The German G20 Presidency, which is focused on “Shaping an Interconnected World”, is hosting for the first time a meeting of Digital Ministers on 6/7 April in Düsseldorf to set out policy actions for a digital future. The challenge for us all is to identify the right levers that will enable our economies to best maximise the benefits of an increasingly digitalised global economy. To do so, it is essential to ensure access to, and participation in, the digital economy for all; maximise the contribution of digital innovations to productivity, economic growth, job creation and well-being; and to build trust and resiliency for networks and users. Given the wide range of issues digitalisation touches, views from all stakeholder communities are important to ensuring we maximize the opportunities being brought on by these technological changes. The Digital Ministers agenda is focused on the following three core areas: Global Digitalisation - Harnessing the potential for growth and employment The digital transformation comes not only with opportunities, but also with challenges – challenges which the G20 want to look at and address together. It is important to use digitalisation to foster global growth. This means that barriers to growth need to be identified and new solutions developed for the years ahead. Digitising production for the future - Internationally harmonizing norms and standards Twenty-first century industry is global; companies around the world are connected with one another via the internet. This means that internationally harmonised standards are urgently needed in order to ensure interoperability between the different systems. Encouraging transparency - Creating confidence in the digital world In order to leverage the full potential of digitalisation and the internet, transparency and trust are essential – for both consumers and companies alike.

Panel Background Information Global Digitalisation - Harnessing the potential for growth and employment Reliable, high-speed, competitively priced networks are foundational to the digitalisation of the economy and society yet not everyone has the same opportunities for access. While the majority of people in developed countries are connected, speeds and prices vary, and there are still unserved communities particularly in rural and remote areas. Developing countries are making great strides to connect their citizens but more can be done to increase the speed at which this is being accomplished. Nowhere in the world should a lack of digital infrastructure be a barrier to growth and participation in today’s global economy. Additionally, there is a growing digital gender divide. In 2016, the ITU estimated that the overall gap between men and women with regards to access to the Internet has increased from 11% in 2013 to 13% in 2016. This trend needs to be reversed if we are going to have an inclusive, digital world. Connectivity and access alone are not enough to create an inclusive, sustainable digital future for all. Digitalisation is having a profound impact on the way we learn, work and live and digital skills have become a precondition for successful participation in modern economic and social life. Digital skills and competencies are driving forces of innovation and competitiveness of G20 economies and partner countries. Digitalisation induces major changes to some occupational fields and professions 5

G20 Digitalisation: Digital Policies for the Future Multi-stakeholder Conference as requirements to employees’ qualifications alter profoundly. Thus, digital literacy and digital skills should be elements of all forms of education and professional training over the life cycle. Starting from early education to vocational and academic education to life-long learning – the acquisition of digital skills is essential in all these periods. In particular, learning digital skills in vocational education and on-the-job training potentially reduces the vulnerability to job loss due to changing task requirements. Innovation and investment are key to a thriving, robust, digital economy. It is important that governments ensure appropriate legal and regulatory frameworks are in place that achieve their intended objectives while not hindering the unknown potential that digitalisation could have in the future. In particular, the G20 recognizes the important role that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play in our economies and that their overall success in embracing digitalisation also depends on a sufficiently dynamic business environment, where innovative digital start-ups can grow and reach scale. Removing burdensome product market regulations and ensuring that employment protection legislation is not overly stringent helps promote firm dynamism and the adoption of digital technologies by firms. Sound regulatory frameworks that enable digitalisation are essential. SMEs also tend to lag large firms in their use of digital technologies at every level of economic development. For these firms, the cost of digital technologies, combined with a lack of adequate financing, are important barriers that help explain why they are less likely to adopt digital technologies. Such costs do not just involve the digital technologies themselves, but also the associated costs and investments needed to ensure successful implementation, e.g. costs of related services, investment in training and in process innovation. Digitalisation has also brought with it new business models that are changing companies in fundamental ways. Businesses that were solely in one industry now cross over many – manufacturers are becoming service provider, individuals are becoming hoteliers, taxi drivers and so on. This blurring of traditional industry lines requires governments to reassess how they deal with competition in order to protect businesses and citizens alike. The use of online platforms has grown exponentially over recent years. We need to better understand the role that digital platforms are playing in our economy. 6. Panel Structure Mr. Peter Craven will moderate the discussion, asking questions to the panelists and taking questions from the audience. At the beginning of the panel the moderator will provide opening comments and introduce the panelists. It is foreseen that this will be a fairly interactive discussion with the audience.
