30. Digitalisation: What do haircuts teach us about data privacy?

As legal advisers to the public sector, we are seeing a general uptick in the number of procurements that we are being asked to support upon which relate to digitalisation programmes. Digitalisation can unlock a number of efficiencies and has the ability to modernise how Government works.

In our new podcast series focusing on digitalisation within the public sector, our lawyers take you through key topics of digitalisation and difficulties that may arise for those working in the public sector to equip you with the knowledge to deal with technology-based procurements.

In this first episode, Jocelyn Paulley, partner in our IT and Outsourcing team, takes you through the basics of digitalisation; what it is, and the benefits and different types of contracts related to technology.

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are in the top 10 countries worldwide to be facing 'extremely high water stress' - meaning 80% or more of all available surface and groundwater in an average year being consumed. This reality presents a need and opportunity for growth within the region's water infrastructure. 

In this podcast, our head of sectors and projects partner Andrew Newbery is in discussion with our Saudi-based projects partner Imran Mufti, as they explore:

•  Why the MENA water sector is ripe with opportunities for growth and where presents the most prospects;
•  A brief history of the delivery of water infrastructure projects in the region and the popularity and innovation of desalination methods most frequently used;
•  How these projects are financed; and 
•  What the future holds for water infrastructure projects in the region.
