Redefining the Digital World: Governance, Trusted Tech and International Cooperation

As digital transformation reshapes economies, societies, and global power dynamics, leaders from government and industry will explore the emerging architecture of the digital world and how governance, innovation, and societal interests can be aligned to create a trusted and inclusive digital future.

Governance

Japan's Leadership in a Transforming World

The global diffusion of ICT has driven a socioeconomic revolution built on open, interoperable standards and global supply chains. This session explores the balance between preserving national security and sovereignty around technology and maintaining the benefits of globally distributed supply chains and interoperable products and services.

International Cooperation

Who Sets the Rules for AI?

This session explores which lessons from the open internet and earlier technological breakthroughs apply to AI governance today — from managing model bias and safety to building effective guardrails — and how open, partnership-based approaches can outperform fragmented or purely national frameworks.

International Cooperation

Why Advanced Economies Need Global Digital Development

Digital inequality between countries is becoming a constraint on global growth, innovation, and connectivity. This session examines why advanced economies have a strategic interest in supporting digital development in emerging and transition economies, and what models can make that cooperation effective.
