Governing 'Collaboration' in Ecosystems

Building the new economy revolves around data, AI and federated computing. In transport and trade, federated computing is now being used to form business and innovation ecosystems, which are essentially communities of collaborating actors, established to allow interaction between the actors. Federated computing is preferred over centralised digital systems as control lies with the collaborating actors. In this new development, the focus is on ‘collaboration’, and  likewise the seminar presentations and discussions will take a critical view on the opportunities and challenges in governing collaboration in ecosystems.
