Digital Transformations: New Approach in Government Relations — the EU Perspective
In the last few years, the role of all wide range of digital tools has been rising. As the world and the CEE region entered lockdowns, the pace of digitalization has been determining how successfully business and governments cope with the pandemic and how well they will recover from the parallel economic crisis.
Digital tools have also become increasingly important for the GR professional. Not only because most of us have had to switch to virtual communication with officials, but also because of the increasing impact of social media on government decision-making and emerging regulations affecting digital operations, data localization, internet privacy, and so on.
In this interview with Vilma Misiukonienė, an EU Affairs and Digital Policies Consultant we’re going to talk about:
- The definition of a digital economy and its impact on government relations;
- The implications of the Single Digital Market in Europe on public affairs practices across the region;
- The distribution of regulatory functions between Brussels and local regulators in EU countries.
