Materials from the OECD meeting, Seoul, Korea, 17-18 June 2007, about the Future of the Internet Economy are available; see especially a list of preliminary documents on the site. Below is an excerpt about one of the central themes from the meeting:
Fuelling Creativity
The Internet has greatly expanded our capacity to create, compute, communicate, co-ordinate, and innovate, toppling barriers that constrained so many economic and social activities in the past. It has led to increased productivity, lowered costs and raised living standards in ways difficult to imagine just a few years ago. This creative activity is generating new software and hardware products, sensor technologies, new ways of organising global business, employment creation, and the development of digital content across the economy and in research, government, health and education. The theme on Fuelling Creativity will consider:
- How to enable innovation and encourage new co-operative models for growth and employment.
- Enabling maximum access to public sector information and content and its re-use by the private sector.
- The value of e-science in innovation policy and in the OECD's innovation strategy.
