Digital-ready policymaking

Digital-ready policymaking refers to the process of formulating digital-ready policies and legislation by considering digital aspects from the start of the policy cycle to ensure that they are ready for the digital age, future-proof and interoperable. It also encompasses the use of innovative methodologies and tools (e.g. AI powered) in the policy design, analysis and implementation process. 

Our multidisciplinary community promotes and facilitates digital-ready policymaking by supporting interactions among different stakeholders involved in policymaking and policy implementation and keeping you up-to-date on best practices, policies, tools and services that can be relevant to your policy domain.
