Abstract:

The mission of the INPACE is to the support digital partnerships and the Trade and Technology Council (TTC) and to contribute to the deepening of the collaboration between Europe and India, Japan, the Republic of Korea and Singapore in the domain of digital technologies and their application for the well-being of the citizens in Europe and in the Indo-Pacific region. Toward this goal, INPACE will work on three levels:

  • Establishing regular exchanges between leading experts from Europe and the four partner countries on policies, further developments of key digital technologies, and their implementation and commercialisation
  • Supporting the digital policy dialogues on the governmental and institutional level and the implementation of the Digital Partnerships and the TTC with India
  • Informing and involving a large community of stakeholders in Europe and in the Indo-Pacific partner countries into the dialogues via online and in-presence events and via the INPACE Community Platform.
  • To support these connected activities, INPACE will create a Multi-Stakeholder Hub where experts, policy makers, and the digital innovation community across Europe and Asia meet, exchange ideas, and drive digital innovation.

INPACE aims at the following outcomes

  • Convergence on principles in regulation, legislation, and standards for digital technologies and new joint major policy initiatives between the EU and the Indo-Pacific region
  • Harmonized research and innovation funding programs and joint calls
  • Reduction of barriers for trade and commercialization of new digital technologies
  • Long-term collaborations in the field of digital technologies and their applications. INPACE
