Cross-Border Data Flows Enable Growth in All Industries

Presenter: Rob Atkinson, President, ITIF

Cross-Border Data Flows Enable Commerce

Virtually every industry, both tech and traditional, rely on

data from locations around the world to make operational decisions, gain competitive advantage, and deliver benefits to customers.

Some countries have begun creating protectionist trade

barriers around data that limit the global flow of data.

Data protectionism hurts not just the global economy but

the economies of the countries creating these barriers.

Rio Tinto uses this data to be

more environmentally friendly, reduce costs, and promote safer mining in each of its locations.

Recommendations

1. International organizations should further develop mechanisms to track data-related localization barriers to trade (LBTs). 2. International organizations should push back against data protectionism. 3. The United States should complete trade agreements that eliminate these barriers.

SLIDE 13

Recommendations (Cont.)
