Articoli Correlati: WTO Chairs Programme - developing countries - digital technologies

On January 28^th, 2021, chairholders and Advisory Board members of the World trade Organization (WTO) Chairs Programme and the WTO Secretariat staff decided to issue a publication on the role of digital technologies for the economic growth of developing countries that was entitled ‘Adapting to the digital trade era: challenges and opportunities.’ Specifically, the issue analyzes the role of domestic policy and international cooperation in order to create a more welcoming and affordable world for this specific kind of countries. The creation of this book was made thanks to the possibility of accessing several case studies that were aimed at showing how countries evaluate the challenges brought by digital technologies and how the governments are implementing different solutions that involve technologies for an economic growth. This book is an important outcome of the second phase of the WTO Chairs Programme, which was funded by the governments of the Netherlands and France.
