Conference Theme: The advent of big data, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies marks our current era as one of significant digital transition. This transition presents society and the legal landscape with both unprecedented opportunities and significant challenges, particularly in the context of global value chains (GVCs). For instance, the integration of digital technologies can enhance efficiency and transparency in GVCs, but it also raises questions about data governance, intellectual property rights, and cross-border compliance. Additionally, this digital transition can interact with other policy objectives, such as sustainability, in ways that are either mutually reinforcing or competing. Regulatory approaches to digital transition and GVCs differ across countries and regions, reflecting diverse legal frameworks and priorities and highlighting the necessity to solve cross-border issues under a coordinated framework. This workshop aims to explore the complex implications of the digital transition within legal contexts, examining how laws and regulatory strategies are evolving in response to the digital shift and its impact on global value chains.
