Online Event

In the rapidly expanding global data and AI landscape, national and international policies shape the framework for data management and usage, but the divide between policy creation and real-world execution often poses a critical challenge. In our upcoming webinar, From Data Policy to Practice: Bridging the Gap, we will take an in-depth look at this crucial intersection, focusing specifically on the policy gaps that arise and exploring the steps needed to close these gaps effectively.

Policymakers at all levels face the difficult task of drafting comprehensive legislation, such as the Data Act and AI Act, that sets standards for data sharing, security, and privacy. However, ensuring that these policies are actionable and implementable across diverse sectors, industries, and regions requires more than just legislation—it demands practical frameworks, cross-sector collaboration, and tools for enforcement.

This webinar will explore the common gaps between policy creation and practical execution, particularly focusing on:

• Government-Level Policies: How national governments and agencies can better align policy objectives with the tools and resources needed for effective on-the-ground implementation.
• International Coordination: With data being shared across borders, the need for synchronised global frameworks is more urgent than ever. We’ll look at the challenges international bodies face in ensuring their policies are both adaptable and enforceable across different jurisdictions.
• Bridging National and International Goals: How national interests can align with global regulations, such as the EU’s Data Act and the AI Act, to create a unified approach to data governance.

We’ll discuss how public and private stakeholders can work together to create cohesive policies that not only outline the “what” but also guide the “how” of implementation.

Key takeaways from the webinar:

• Insights into the gaps between high-level policy creation and on-the-ground execution, specifically within government and international contexts.
• Strategies for strengthening the connection between legislation and its practical rollout, ensuring compliance across sectors.
• A deeper understanding of how national and international bodies can improve collaboration to develop more seamless, executable policies.
• Discussion of potential frameworks or solutions that could help address the existing disconnect between policy design and operational reality.
