Project Title
Emerging Technologies for Digitization/Digitalization and International Regulatory Cooperation
Project Status
Project in Implementation
Past APEC Leaders’ Declarations have emphasized the importance of the transition from an informal to a formal economy and its role in improving access to economic opportunities, global markets, and services. Given this growing focus on technology and innovation, it’s opportune for APEC economies to leverage available emerging technologies to facilitate the transition to a digital economy. This project will focus on building capacity through a workshop on the use of emerging technologies, specifically artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cloud computing, for digitization and digitalization processes and the applicability to Good Regulatory Practices (GRP), specifically international regulatory cooperation. The workshop will connect regulators and government officials, as well as private sector stakeholders, to highlight how government regulators can use technologies to convert paper documents, such as technical regulations, standards, or testing and conformity assessment-related documents, into a digital format and streamline processes for information access and sharing through document inventories. |
