Three data realms: Managing the divergence between the EU, the US and China in the digital sphere
Major economies are addressing the challenges brought by digital trade in different ways, resulting in diverging regulatory regimes. How should we view these divergences and best deal with them?

Digitalisation is fundamentally changing international trade. But while it comes with many positives, there are challenges as well. For instance, in digital trade physical presence is not necessary but is often legally required. Since major economies have addressed these challenges in different manners, it has resulted in diverging regulatory regimes, making it increasingly difficult to trade services across borders.
At this event we will look at the differences in how three major economies, the EU, US and China, regulate digital trade, and how these divergences risk to fracture the digital sphere.
