T20 Argentina associated event.
The 5th GS Workshop Taipei on “Shaping the Future of an Inclusive and Digital Society” is expected to be built upon the 2017 Workshop “Addressing Challenges and Seizing Opportunities in the Digital Economy”. While the 2017 Workshop aimed at identifying general challenges and opportunities that new digital technologies may create, the Workshop this year has a more human-centered focus, aiming at exploring adequate, human-centered, solutions to deal with opportunities and risks being faced by individuals, firms, governments and other organizations while shaping the future of an inclusive digital society.
The GS Taipei Workshop 2018 is expected to bring together experts from academia, business, politics and civil society from different countries to join the discussions and provide their valuable insights and innovative ideas. Potential solution proposals are expected to be put together as a result of the speeches, addresses and session discussions scheduled.
