TNW2020 The Assembly

REGULATION AND INNOVATION

Explore how policymakers, tech giants, and corporate leaders can work together on regulation and innovation.

Issues around data and content have become a key point of debate during the pandemic. Some governments have implemented sophisticated surveillance technology, and overall business and financial uncertainty has led to a growing reliance on Big Tech. In partnership with the Financial Times, The Assembly will provide a platform for policymakers, tech giants, and corporate leaders to find common ground and work together to build the most conducive environment for regulation and innovation. How have regulation efforts been impacted by the increasing reliance on technology firms during the crisis?
