Watch the virtual launch of the OECD Digital Economy Outlook 2020 by Deputy Secretary-General Ulrik Vestergaard Knudsen and Andrew Wyckoff, OECD Director of Science, Technology and Innovation. Measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic have profoundly affected countries’
relationship with digital technologies. Never before has our global dependency on
digital technology touched all aspects of society – from education to health. Teleworking,
distance learning and e-commerce have surged across the OECD, as has uptake of digital
tools in businesses. What can, and should, governments and businesses do to drive a stronger, more inclusive digital future, for the COVID-19 recovery and beyond?

This virtual event presents the main findings of the report, highlights the use of digital technologies to monitor the spread of COVID-19 and help keep society functional. High-level experts discuss policies to close new digital divides created by the pandemic, and and offer prospects on the role of digital transformation policies in paving the path to recovery.
