    Why OECD Work on Digital Policy Matters

    The OECD’s work on digital helps shape and inform policies internationally to drive innovation and inclusive growth through the digital transition. The Organisation addresses connectivity and infrastructure, data governance and privacy, digital security and safety, artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, and creates longstanding evidence-based recommendations and standards which are the reference for many legal frameworks. The OECD also serves as strategic advisor to the G7 and G20 and collaborates with relevant UN bodies and initiatives such as UNESCO and the Internet Governance Forum (IGF).

    How Business Engages with the OECD on Digital Policy

    We provide both high-level and technical private sector perspectives across the OECD agenda on digital policy.  Our committee meets virtually twice a month and convenes regular discussions amongst technical experts from businesses and the OECD. Our members attend the bi-annual meetings of the OECD Digital Economy Committee and related sessions at Ministerial, Working Parties and expert group level.  We also organize policy events in partnership with the OECD and undertake special projects on cutting-edge issues.
