DESCRIPTION:Prof. Arturo Bris\, Edouard Bugnion\, Nicole Burth\, David Bac
 h\, Melissa Finocchio\, Johannes Rühl\, Marc Walder\nThe Digital Competit
 iveness Summit 2022 is co-organised by digitalswitzerland\, EPFL and IMD.\
 n\nRegulating the digital world: does it hinder or drive competitiveness?\
 n\nAttending this event will not only give you a clear idea of Swiss digit
 al competitiveness and its position on a global level\, but also provide y
 ou with the opportunity to hear leading experts share their insights about
  digitalisation.\n\nDriven by data\, algorithms\, hardware and platformisa
 tion – digital technologies have transformed our economic and societal l
 andscape. In parallel\, significant privacy concerns have shaken consumer 
 business relationships\, prompting changes in both regulatory intervention
 s and personal privacy-protective behaviours. In order for companies to co
 mply with today's regulations and frameworks\, significant investment is n
 eeded\, and in some cases even adaptations of business models. It also req
 uires new technologies to use data efficiently and profitably (in an econo
 mic sense) on the one hand and ethically in regards to ownership\, transpa
 rency\, privacy\, intention and outcome on the other. This is yet another 
 challenge. \n\nAre these investments of resources advantageous to competi
 tiveness and even innovation? \n\nJoin the conversation and register here
