Celebrating One Year of the Digital Transformation Network

In the first year of the Digital Transformation Network, the topic of digital transformation continues to remain atop policy priorities for many industries and governments across the globe.

As direct digital transformation investments climb to almost $7 trillion between 2020 and 2023, staying abreast of the fast-changing policy landscape for artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, privacy, cross-border data transfer, and workforce issues has never been important to global companies – regardless of sector.

DTN subscribers have helped grow the initiative over the last year and publish a series of cross-sector reports illustrating the impact of digital transformation outside of software and convene monthly briefings with leading voices on digital transformation policy for information exchange and relationship building among peers across sectors.

Report Series Shows Positive Impacts of Digital Transformation Across All Sectors

Our quarterly sector reports highlight how our subscribers are harnessing the power of digital transformation across sectors. These reports show how digital tools are used across the globe to advance company growth, sustainability, and more. Check out the reports below for more examples from our subscribers:

Automotive: Digital Technologies Fuel Rapid Growth and Transformation – DTN’s July 2022 report focused on how automakers are working toward important objectives such as improved safety features, lowered emissions, and enhanced connectivity.
Sustainability: Digital Tools for a Sustainable Future – DTN’s April 2022 report and TechPost focused on how digital technologies hold huge promise for helping achieve key energy goals.

Manufacturing: Digital Tools Transform How Things Get Made – The first DTN report and TechPost spotlighted how the entire manufacturing process from beginning to end can be transformed by digital tools. As part of the report’s roll-out, check out my BSA TechPost on our manufacturing report and subscriber briefing that included Congresswoman Robin Kelly (D-IL), Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH), Dr. Betsy Cooper, Director at The Aspen Institute’s Tech Policy Hub, Sean Manzanares, Senior Manager, Industry Strategy – Design & Manufacturing at Autodesk, Sanjary Udani, Vice President of Technology Policy at Verizon, Beth Rudden, Distinguished Engineer in Cognitive Science & Trusted AI at IBM, and Del Costy, Senior Vice President and Managing Director for the Americas of Siemens Digital Industries Software.
