Promoting Digital Innovation in the Mediterranean: a private-public perspective

The Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), as co-chair of Think7 (T7) – the official engagement group of the Italian G7 presidency that brings together leading think tanks and research centres from around the world – has organised two events on the topics of digitisation and regulation of artificial intelligence (AI).
The objective of the second event was to discuss potential synergies between the Italian G7 Presidency and the Cypriot Presidency of the EU Med 9, in order to build a common agenda on issues such as AI and the reliability of cross-border data flows, in the context of relevant policies adopted by the European Union. Another objective was to reflect on how to promote cooperation and exchange of best practices on key digital issues and policies for Mediterranean countries.
