Cybersecurity is increasingly recognized not only as a safeguard but as a strategic driver of economic growth and competitiveness. Strategic investments in cybersecurity can unlock new markets, foster innovation, and strengthen trust between governments, businesses, and citizens. Effective policies and cross-border collaboration can also localize priority technologies, enhance resilience, and reinforce global economic security.

This session will examine how robust cybersecurity strategies are central to fostering sustainable economic growth. Panelists will draw on their expertise in global governance, national strategies, financial and economic policy, and infrastructure development to explore how investments in cybersecurity can protect assets and data while creating long-term economic and societal value.
