World Economic Forum, Bahrain EDB launch global roadmap – News of Bahrain- DT News

World Economic Forum, Bahrain EDB launch global roadmap. The World Economic Forum (WEF), in partnership with the Bahrain Economic Development Board, has launched a new Roadmap for Cross-Border Data Flows to help drive global tech-based collaboration.. The practical Roadmap includes country-level policy building blocks designed to harness the benefits and minimise the risks of cross border data sharing.. For some countries, such as Bahrain, small upgrades will be necessary as they have inspired the core principles by their own actions, whereas for others the framework may represent a fullsuite starting point.. "The free flow of data is critical for Bahrain and the wider GCC," said Ahmed at the launch.. "It is important to raise awareness of the benefits of cross border data sharing and data privacy and security. ". Bahrain, like a number of other nations, has prepared its digital economy well, but data needs to flow across borders safely and seamlessly if we are to retain our competitiveness, especially in the post-COVID era.".
