Regulations can either encourage innovation and economy or slow it down. This year, Thinking in Billions is focusing on how governments can offer a legal playground for experimentation, allowing companies to navigate through regulatory requirements while developing groundbreaking solutions. In addition to fostering innovation, we must also focus on resilience. Dual use in defence tech is crucial for both military and civilian applications, serving as a catalyst for innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Governments play a pivotal role by facilitating regulatory sandboxes, offering guidance, resources, and flexibility. This collaborative effort empowers innovators, regulators and investors to navigate emerging technologies effectively, fostering a dynamic ecosystem of innovation.
Regulatory sandboxes are enablers of transformational innovation for the private sector and an endless learning accelerator for the public sector.
The event will focus on sharing best practices and success stories from various countries as well as fostering collaboration between governments, founders, universities, investors, and research institutions on how to enable us to truly think in billions.
Thinking in Billions was designed to shed light on the various measures that innovative policymakers are testing out locally in collaboration with the private sector.
