Digitalization is the megatrend of the early 21st century. Historically, much of digital innovation has originated in clusters around major US universities, most notably in Silicon Valley. Consequently, US internet law and policy had outsized influence and global impact. Yet, in current changing times, the emerging ‘digital law‘ will likely look more amorphous. This second panel on public law in the digital era addresses a set of questions around big data, data flows, trade secrets as well as trade partnerships in the context of digitalization in and between the EU, Japan and China. The panel will be structured as an open conversation and will leave plenty of time for engagement with the audience.
