International Digital Dialogues
The German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) engages in Digital Dialogues with important partner countries. Its aim is to shape better conditions for the digital transformation of the economy.
As a multi-stakeholder initiative, the Digital Dialogues provide a platform for direct exchange between policy makers, regulators and businesses. They address topics of the future, ranging from internet governance and data policy to the application of emerging technologies and support for innovative start-ups and SMEs in the digital economy.
The regular discussions at government level are prepared and accompanied by multi-stakeholder engagement. They provide an opportunity to share best practices and learn from each other. Current issues can be discussed directly with policy makers. The direct involvement of the business community ensures that political approaches and solutions make good economic sense.
Commissioned by BMDV, GIZ supports the Digital Dialogues with a secretariat which is based in Berlin as well as in the partner countries Brazil, India and Mexico. It monitors current developments, implements cooperation activities and contributes to strategy building.
