Policymakers around the world are searching for answers to the challenges they’re facing due to the fast paced changes in technology and take advantage of the opportunities that technology is creating. Intergovernmental collaboration on its own may not be sufficient, as it requires innovative collaborations with other stakeholders, including the private sector, expert community, and multilateral organizations.

This panel will provide some initial insights from the UN HLP and will discuss the role of different sectors.
