As nations grapple with the challenges of the 21st century, the role of the digital economy (DIGE) in propelling innovation and fostering economic growth has become undeniable. The Global Digital Economy White Paper (2022) highlights that in 2021, the value-added of the DIGE in 47 key nations worldwide amounted to an impressive US$38.10 trillion, representing over 45.0% of their collective GDP.
This growing economic share underscores how deeply digitalization is reshaping industries and spurring industrial development anew. Furthermore, the World Internet Development Report 2022 positions digital technology innovation as a linchpin for productivity growth in today’s innovation-driven world.
