The Datasphere Initiative is pleased to announce that the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has joined the Datasphere Initiative as an in-kind Institutional Partner.
The partnership will support the engagement of the global business community in the network of the Datasphere Initiative and facilitate the sharing of policy and technical innovations coming out of the private sector.
“All businesses large and small are impacted by data governance policy and have a role to play in responsibly unlocking data for all. We are pleased to partner with ICC to ensure companies across sectors understand their role in building a collaboratively governed datasphere” said Lorrayne Porciuncula, Executive Director, Datasphere Initiative.
The ICC Global Digital Economy Commission works to promote the global development of the digital economy and the continued growth of its underlying information and communication technologies (ICTs) and related business models, through private-sector policy leadership, regulatory advocacy, and the promotion of best practices.
The Datasphere Initiative and ICC will exchange knowledge on current data policy issues and support the engagement of businesses particularly small and medium enterprises and those from the global south in the work of the Datasphere Initiative.
“Responsibly unlocking the value of data should be the vantage point from which governance approaches should be considered. As the institutional representative of over 45 million businesses worldwide, ICC is dedicated to making the digital economy inclusive for all. Fostering trust in data and its flow is a pivotal aspect of this mission. We are thrilled to announce our partnership with the Datasphere Initiative and eagerly anticipate contributing private sector insights to support their work.” said Timea Suto, Global Digital Policy Lead, International Chamber of Commerce.
