ICTP 389: Data embassies and rethinking sovereignty in the digital age, with Demetris Herakleous of ECLAC

Consistent with the growing discussion of digital sovereignty in the Caribbean region and worldwide, greater attention is being placed on the establishment of data embassies. In response, the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) published a study on the subject. We chat with Demetris Herakleous, an Associate Economic Affairs Officer at ECLAC, on the prospect of Caribbean countries establishing a data embassy, including: * the differences between a data embassy and a data centre; * the possibility of a regional data embassy being established; and * some of the security considerations, especially in light of data sovereignty concerns.
