Developing a shared language to overcome today\u2019s surveillance economies \u2013 G\u00e9raldine de Bastion at the 2019 ZHAW International Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Daniel Perrin<\/a>, Dean, School of Applied Linguistics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can governments and start-ups really work together? \u2013 They actually should, argued G\u00e9raldine de Bastion in her keynote at the 2019 ZHAW International Day.

De Bastion presented examples of gov-tech as lessons to be learnt from Africa. A strong case she drew on is policy-making that includes all the relevant stakeholders. Such projects have shown that openness of data can drive the development of open societies able to overcome today\u2019s surveillance economies. 

\u201cGovernments need to be ready for collaboration and experimentation\u201d, she concludes. This requires disruptive entrepreneurship and research at its best. And it calls for translating between these worlds \u2013 and even for developing a shared language. 

From a ZHAW and Applied Linguistics perspective, I couldn\u2019t agree more.<\/p>\n
