The evolving landscape of digital regulation necessitates a dynamic approach to testing and refining regulatory frameworks. The concept of a network of Regional Cross Sector Digital Regulation Sandboxes— can be an innovative means to assess, iterate, and enhance digital regulations sharing lessons between countries and regions.
