States of the Future
JULY 22-26 | RIO DE JANEIRO
Sobre o evento

The G20 side-event "States of the Future" aims to bring together a diverse coalition of global actors, including governments, think-tanks, civil society, academia, the private sector and international bodies, to foster a multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral dialogue on reimagining capabilities state-owned companies facing the emerging challenges of the 21st century. The main objective of the event is to articulate and share innovative visions, strategies and practices to transform public services and governance, focusing on the integration of advanced technologies and the response to shocks and crises that challenge state capacity.
The aim is to initiate a debate for international collaboration, the exchange of knowledge and the creation of strategic partnerships that can guide the construction of a resilient, inclusive and sustainable future, where governments and their institutions are able to respond in an effective and adaptive way to the needs and expectations of their populations in a world in constant transformation.
The event, co-organized by The Brazilian Development Bank, the Ministries of Management and Innovation in Public Services, of Foreign Affairs, and of Development, Industry, Trade and Services, will feature a program open to the general public, from Monday to Wednesday, and invitation-only meetings with civil society organizations, on Thursday and Friday.
History shows several waves of public service that reflect the essence of each era, with their different needs, contexts, and challenges. While recent reforms may have focused on administrative efficiency, cost reduction, decentralization, or the introduction of private sector management principles, the current debate on the State of the Future demands a more comprehensive and multidimensional approach. We face several technological challenges (artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and the biotechnology revolution, to name a few), climate change, the risk of new pandemics, and new threats to transnational security. Last, significant developments in the labor market demand new responses and capabilities from the State.
We live in a deep transition moment where several interconnected systemic changes fundamentally transform society. Deep transitions are unique moments that require coordinated action across multiple sectors of society, including government, industry, civil society, and individuals. Above all, they need a profound reflection on the role of the State to engage and promote a revolution toward a more sustainable and socially fair development model. What transformative investments are needed? Which changes must drive government institutions reforms? How can we create international cooperative systems to protect global public goods? What are the policies that constrain and prevent sustained and sustainable development? What regulatory aspects must not be neglected? What state capabilities will be required to implement a desirable future?
The event, co-organized by the Ministriy of Management and Innovation in Public Services, the Brazilian Development Bank, , and the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, and of Development, Industry, Trade and Services, will feature a program open to the general public, from Monday to Wednesday, and invitation-only meetings with civil society organizations, on Thursday and Friday.
