The Challenge
Climate change, increasing population, fast growing megacities and the pace of change and progress in modern technologies, society, and economy: These trends create new opportunities but also challenges to businesses, people and the flow of goods.
All these developments have a strong impact on the setting of laws and regulations. At the same time, laws and regulations play a key role in innovation processes. They are supposed to create predictability and stability, security and fairness, enforce positive incentives, and create an overarching framework in which innovations can develop and unfold.
Thus, the smart and efficient design, application and implementation of laws and regulations is key to ensuring that current and upcoming challenges are solved and that new opportunities are tapped in order to benefit society and businesses while the world is changing.
To address the emerging need for legal innovation we need new technological and data-driven solutions and interdisciplinary approaches. This is where the Innovation Challenge comes into play.
