Digitalisation, US–China decoupling, and the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic represent the three remarkable sources of changes faced by the world economy.

Digital transformation is not just about disruptive innovation and technology adoption. More importantly, it represents a new wave of massive technological progress that will drive socio-economic transition and the changes in international relations in the 21st century.
