The upcoming Global Forum on the Knowledge Economy (GFKE) aims to strengthen OECD global relations on the contribution of science, technology and innovation to the knowledge economy, which is essential for designing policy frameworks that will drive growth and well-being in the 21st century. It provides a vehicle for dialogue among policy makers, business, consumers and other stakeholders in Member and Partner (i.e. non-member) economies on policy approaches that will help expand the benefits of the knowledge economy to all countries.
The overarching theme of the GFKE 2014 is data-driven innovation for a resilient society. It will aim at accelerating discussions at the international level on the collection and use of data throughout the economy and society for enhanced growth and well-being.
