Opening Keynote Address: Agile Governance for Society 5.0 - Insights from Japan 

Abstract: Japan is aiming to achieve “Society 5.0”, which is a human-centered society where high integration of cyberspace and physical space can promote economic development and solve societal issues. In order to accelerate innovation while ensuring governance in a complex and fast-changing digital society, it needs a horizontal multi-stakeholder governance model which focuses on solving issues (goals), instead of a governance model where the government single-handedly undertake the functions of rule-making, monitoring and enforcement on an industry level. For this reason, instead of implementing modes of governance where rules and procedures are defined and fixed in advance, there is a need to implement forms of “agile governance” that are designed to continuously and rapidly run cycles of “conditions and risks analysis,” “goal setting,” “system design,” “operations,” “evaluation,” and “improvements” with multi- stakeholders in various governance mechanisms, such as corporate governance, regulations, infrastructures, markets, and social norms.

Panel Discussion: Architecting Digital Governments of the Future

Abstract: Digital Technologies (DT) have taken a pivotal role in enabling government services in the past decade. Fuelled by the current pandemic, there has been a global realization that the adoption of digital technologies is no more a matter of choice but a strategic and operational necessity. The acceleration towards digital governance is progressing at an unprecedented pace. It is shaping national economies and developmental agendas. Countries have realised the role of digital technologies in bringing about holistic transformation by taking a whole-of-society perspective. This has resulted in new emergent architecture paradigms of increased platformization and open digital ecosystems based on standards and innovations.

Closing Keynote Address: The Role of Standards in a Data Economy

Abstract: Over the past few years, India has taken steps to become a data economy. With digital services gaining currency, India is generating humongous amounts of data. Data has become a crucial resource for economic progress. In its raw unprocessed state data has little value. It is its handling, processing, and scientific analysis that yields useful and original knowledge. The data generated by individuals, enterprises, the public sector, and, objects (the internet of things, or IoT) has experienced exponential growth in recent years. The data economy is where the business model is based on the exploration and exploitation of the structures of existing databases (traditional databases and those originating from new sources) to identify new opportunities for generating products and services. In this context, the use of standards spanning the entire data lifecycle becomes a strategic imperative to accelerate the transition to a data and a digital economy.
