Predictions 2021
We look at what to expect in the digital and tech space next year. The COVID-19 pandemic will have an enduring effect on policy, technology, and our lives, even as we (hopefully) start to emerge from its immediate impact, and the end of the Brexit transition period will also play a role in the UK and EU. Against this backdrop, we focus on wider issues set to take centre stage in 2021,covering online harms, regulation of platforms, big data and data privacy, life sciences and advertising.
