From little more than an outpost of the global economy in 1971, the UAE is now a global hub for energy, trade and THE UAE’S FOCUS business. In 2021, the UAE ranks highly in terms of economic and political stability, cultural diversity and quality of life.

With the best-in- class tools, skills and infrastructure in place, it could provide data storage and analysis services to international companies. Data diplomacy strategies could allow for cross-border sharing of data to benefit multiple economies. The second UAE Technology Think Tank looked at the best way for the UAE to achieve its data economy ambitions and how the private sector could support this. This white paper summarises the findings from the discussion through 10 key recommendations, bringing forth insights from across the UAE’s technology industry.

  • Google's Hyperscale Data Centres and Infrastructure Ecosystem in Europe
    GOOGLE’S HYPERSCALE DATA CENTRES AND INFRASTRUCTURE ECOSYSTEM IN EUROPE Economic impact study CLIENT: GOOGLE SEPTEMBER 2019 AUTHORS Dr Bruno Basalisco, Managing economist, Head of Digital Economy service Martin Bo Westh Hansen, Managing economist, Head of Energy & Climate service Tuomas Haanperä, Managing economist Erik Dahlberg, Senior economist Morten May Hansen, Economist Joshua Brown, Analyst Laurids Leo Münier, Analyst 0 Malthe Faber Laursen, Analyst Helge Sigurd Næss-Schmidt, Partner EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Digital transformation is a defining challenge and opportunity for the European economy, provid- ing the means to reinvent and improve how firms, consumers, governments, and citizens interact and do business with each other. European consumers, firms, and society stand to benefit from the resulting innovative products, processes, services, and business models – contributing to EU productivity. To maximise these benefits, it is key that the private and public sector can rely on an advanced and efficient cloud value chain. Considerable literature exists on cloud solutions and their transformative impact across the econ- omy. This report contributes by focusing on the analysis of the cloud value chain, taking Google as a relevant case study. It assesses the economic impact of the Google European hyperscale data cen- tres and related infrastructures which, behind the scenes, underpin online services such as cloud solutions. Thus, the report is an applied analysis of these infrastructure layers “above the cloud” (upstream inputs to deliver cloud solutions) and quantifies Google’s European economic contribu- tion associated with these activities. Double-clicking the cloud Services, such as Google Cloud, are a key example of a set of solutions that can serve a variety of Eu- ropean business needs and thus support economic productivity.

  • Digital Trade Rules
    BRUSSELS OFFICE DEBORAH JAMES DIGITAL TRADE RULES: A DISASTROUS NEW CONSTITUTION FOR THE GLOBAL ECONOMY, BY AND FOR BIG TECH DIGITAL DEBORAH JAMES TRADE RULES A DISASTROUS NEW CONSTITUTION FOR THE GLOBAL ECONOMY, BY AND FOR BIG TECH ROSA-LUXEMBURG-STIFTUNG, BRUSSELS 2020 EN PREFACE The largest corporations in the history of the world – Amazon, Facebook, Google, Apple, and Microsoft – are seeking to use ‘trade’ rules to rig the rules of the global (digital) economy to enable them to collect more data, exercise more control over our lives and their workers, and amass ever more profit. More than 80 members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) are currently negotiating a new agreement on digital trade based on these proposals. This paper seeks to explain how these corporations operate in order to achieve their goals; what the potential impacts of the rules would be on workers, citizens, communities, developing countries, public services, safety and security, and democracy itself; what the alternatives are; and what we can do to stop this mass corporate takeover. This paper was written towards the end of 2019. Today, in 2020, the world seems a different place, as we collectively experience the coronavirus crisis and new aware- ness about issues of racism and policy brutality. The crises have brought about new, and highlighted existing, urgent problems – often exacerbated by Big Tech’s iron grip on our economic and social lives. EMERGING CHALLENGES IN 2020 The WTO itself is in serious crisis. The 12th WTO Ministerial Conference was due to be held in June 2020, but has been postponed – possibly for another year.

  • Blockchain and the General Data Protection Regulation
    Blockchain and the General Data Protection Regulation Can distributed ledgers be squared with European data protection law? STUDY Panel for the Future of Science and Technology EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Scientific Foresight Unit (STOA) PE 634.445 – July 2019 EN Blockchain and the General Data Protection Regulation Can distributed ledgers be squared with European data protection law? Blockchain is a much-discussed instrument that, according to some, promises to inaugurate a new era of data storage and code-execution, which could, in turn, stimulate new business models and markets. The precise impact of the technology is, of course, hard to anticipate with certainty, in particular as many remain sceptical of blockchain's potential impact. In recent times, there has been much discussion in policy circles, academia and the private sector regarding the tension between blockchain and the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Indeed, many of the points of tension between blockchain and the GDPR are due to two overarching factors. First, the GDPR is based on an underlying assumption that in relation to each personal data point there is at least one natural or legal person – the data controller – whom data subjects can address to enforce their rights under EU data protection law. These data controllers must comply with the GDPR's obligations. Blockchains, however, are distributed databases that often seek to achieve decentralisation by replacing a unitary actor with many different players. The lack of consensus as to how (joint-) controllership ought to be defined hampers the allocation of responsibility and accountability. Second, the GDPR is based on the assumption that data can be modified or erased where necessary to comply with legal requirements, such as Articles 16 and 17 GDPR.

  • 1. Introduction
    International The Data Economy: On Evaluation and Taxation Piergiorgio Valente[*] Issue: European Taxation, 2019 (Volume 59), No. 5 Published online: 15 April 2019 While data-centred business models are claiming an ever-growing share of worldwide revenue, regulatory efforts to identify proper tax rules for the relevant activities are intensifying. It is questionable whether or not the proposals currently on the table capture the distinctive features of the data economy. The formulation of appropriate tax rules requires a thorough understanding of the mechanics of data processing activities and due consideration of the difference between information, which is an intangible asset, and tangible assets. 1. Introduction It is widely acknowledged in the areas of business, legislation and policymaking, as well as administration and human rights protection, that the dominion of data is increasing.[1]This is clearly illustrated by the series of legislative initiatives launched and/or adopted in order to provide a legal framework applicable to the unstoppable flow of data.[2] Data collection and analysis are not, however, new processes. In particular, data processing is deemed to encompass:[3] any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction. It is clear from this definition that data processing is an age-old procedure that underlies all economies. In fact, business and trade are borne from the observation of people’s needs and preferences, i.e.
