This Track focuses on the governance, regulation, and public\u2013private dynamics of the digital economy. It welcomes contributions from industry and the public sector that present recent trends and developments, innovative solutions, practical experiences, or research and development efforts related to the conference theme. Moreover, in this edition, the Track speaks to new economic models and industry developments and their implications for governance. As the digital economy evolves, it creates opportunities for socio-economic growth but also raises new policy and regulatory issues, such as new forms of competition and inequality. This Track addresses explicitly the governance of digital markets, innovation ecosystems, and public\u2013private interactions, rather than the internal operational deployment of technologies within public administrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Track welcomes policy and practice papers designed to enable outreach and impact, stemming from case studies, research projects, or other significant digital governance initiatives by the public or private sector, and written for non-academic audiences. Submitted papers should be structured to facilitate policymaking and industry consideration and should present relevant findings and recommendations for theory and practice in digital governance. Papers should provide sufficient background for readers to understand the problem and to appreciate the importance of the topic. Contributions presenting regulatory approaches, governance frameworks, and real-world public\u2013private collaboration experiences<\/span> are particularly encouraged. At least one of the authors of a paper submitted to this Track must be from the respective fields: industry or public sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
