 WTO SecretariatThis event is part of UNCTAD&#039\;s E-Commerce WeekBusines
 ses large and small face many challenges conducting global on-line busines
 s and trade. For many of them\, the Internet and mobile networks are integ
 ral to the fabric of their global activities.Yet\, they operate in a world
  where most national and international legal frameworks were not designed 
 with today&#039\;s technologies in mind\, nor in recognition of the vast b
 usiness and economic opportunities that they have made possible. More rece
 ntly\, it seems that success has wrought even more new challenges to doing
  business online.We will ask a panel of businesses and experts to share wi

  in day-to-day operations.The aim is to help better understand what govern
 ments can do to unleash e-trade and innovation as a means to sustainable g
