TechUK calls for G20 governments to focus on data and cyber security

Global leaders have been urged to ensure that data protection and cyber security measures still encourage innovation in the tech sector, ahead of this year’s G20 summit. TechUK, the representative body for the tech industry in the UK, has released a position paper with a number of global technology bodies and associations, which sets out seven priorities for the governments making up the G20. It said: “The G20 is a critically important setting for the world’s leading governments to outline approaches to managing 21st century ICT policy challenges, combating protectionism, achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and growing the global economy in ways that benefit all countries and people.”
