Matt Hancock's speech in Davos on Reimagining Policy-Making for the Fourth Industrial Revolution

Thank you for the introduction and for inviting me here today. It's a real honour to have been asked to close this session on'Reimagining policy making for the fourth industrial revolution'. We are in the midst of fundamental change, as the cost of storing and transmitting information plunges, perhaps faster than at any time since the invention of the printing press. Technology is constantly changing how we live, how we work and how we vote and campaign. Governments now have an opportunity to create an environment that supports digital businesses and creates appropriate norms and rules for the online world.
