Doing Business Across Borders in an Age of Digital Uncertainty:  The Experience of Zoom
Josh Kallmer, Head of Global Public Policy and Government Relations, Zoom

Like many companies in the tech sector and throughout the economy, Zoom has expanded internationally at a time when the digital “rules of the road” seem increasingly uncertain.  Josh Kallmer, Zoom’s Head of Global Public Policy and Government Relations, will describe the rapidly evolving landscape around global data governance and Zoom’s journey in navigating it.  His remarks will touch on a number of related but distinct themes, including:  (1) geopolitical issues such as the U.S.-China tech rivalry and the EU’s efforts to achieve “digital sovereignty”; (2) disparate national and regional efforts to develop rules around tech policy topics such as privacy, platform liability, competition, etc.; and (3) the implications for companies seeking to trade, invest, and otherwise do business across borders.

The Internet is Dying – The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence to Global Digital Citizenship – Digital Globalization Consortium with Tripp Lake, Intellectual Property and Technology partner of Lewis Brisbois, Foundering Member Digital Globalization Consortium

Masaharu Morita, New Business Manager, Medical Division, FUJIFILM, Digital Globalization Consortium Member

We have to be online. But confidence in online transactions has eroded, and finding a new, trusted partner in online transactions is often a leap of faith. What if there was a digital tool that did serve our best interests while helping to weed out untrustworthy data for future transactions? Current technologies, like Blockchain, are inadequate to restore trust. Instead there is an emerging advanced Artificial Intelligence solution that will, by consistent application across a broad spectrum of use cases, recreate trustworthiness in transactions and allow for the recreation of privacy.  The solution will harness the inevitable march of AI to merge the physical space and cyberspace into true digital citizenship – a Smart Society, or Society 5.0.

Technology, Trade, and Transparency: How the Openness of the Digital World Can Expand Global Opportunity
Danielle Osler, Google, Global Lead, Transparency

A key goal of expanding trade is to expand opportunity. The proliferation of digital technology across every sector and facet of life has been enabled by openness. This openness is not only in the tech world’s approach to sharing information, but in its approach to collaboration, innovation, and growth. While we often consider the need for protecting business secrets and intellectual property rights for a company’s growth, we don’t often consider the crucial importance of facilitating information sharing, open standards, interoperability, and transparency for creating the conditions of growth. Building upon this paradigm of openness can not only unlock new opportunities for business and individuals. It can enhance trust in the ecosystem of institutions at the heart of trade and innovation, which is vital to bringing the benefits of growth to all.

Lindsay Besser Hank, Director of Global Services

“Attending and sponsoring World Trade Day in 2019 helped our office, Denver Economic Development & Opportunity, connect with the global business/academic/government community, share our message, gain valuable contacts during the networking activities and ted talks, and learn about current issues that impact international trade.  It’s a great event to make connections and for us as a sponsor, raise awareness of our office to a globally minded audience.”

“World Trade Day was one of the best conferences I’ve had the opportunity to take part in. The connections that I made during the conference and after were second to none (and some even became clients!). Participating in World Trade Day gave me the opportunity to get to know other players in the international business community and learn more about the different opportunities involved in working on the world stage. I’m looking forward to being involved again this year!”
