About the project

Digitalisation is transforming the global economy. It creates new business models,

optimises production and revolutionises communication. Balanced and transparent rules
enable legal certainty and fair competition on the internet. Only if these rules are
harmonised internationally can the economy and society fully benefit from the
opportunities of digitalisation.

On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV), GIZ supports
the Federal Government, the European Union and its partner governments in their efforts
to promote value-based harmonisation in bilateral digital dialogues. Using a multi-
stakeholder approach, GIZ ensures that the dialogues’ activities reflect the interests and
expertise of key players from politics, the private sector and specialist institutions alike,
producing tangible solutions for harmonization that are fed back into multilateral fora
such as the UN IGF and G20. Current priority topics include data policies and digital
security, circular economy and digital value chains incl. semiconductors, as well as
interoperable infrastructure for the twin transition
