Digital innovation drives significant benefits for consumers, businesses, and the wider economy. Our roles as regulators are becoming increasingly important to ensure that consumers and citizens interests are at the heart of digital innovation. To do this well, we need to keep pace with the changes in digital and online services.

The DRCF has already made good progress in collating and synthesising the digital research and knowledge of its four member organisations (the CMA, ICO, Ofcom and FCA). However, there are benefits for regulators, consumers and industry from the DRCF doing more to join up thinking on future technologies, so it is launching a horizon-scanning programme to build its collective knowledge and understanding of emerging digital developments.

To make it easier for people to engage with the programme, and to gain the widest possible range of views, we are launching an always open line of communication through a new mailbox JoiningUpOnFutureTech@ofcom.org.uk. The information received will help shape the DRCFs priorities and inform future joint work.
