This session will build on the morning’s High-Level Dialogue by bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders with the goal of charting the practical pathway from theories and strategies to impactful collaboration between the African & U.S. public and private sectors to advance digitalization. The discussion will seek to address issues in the areas of physical infrastructure and accessibility, human infrastructure / workforce development, and the modernization and harmonization of legal and regulatory environments.  Among the key elements within those areas are the issues of data sovereignty, privacy, cyber-safety/security, and the implications across the digital domain of developments in artificial intelligence (AI).  Overall, the roundtable will provide a platform for stakeholders to exchange ideas, identify opportunities for collaboration, and develop actionable strategies to accelerate the digital transformation of African economies.
