techUK’s Digital Regulation Group (DRG) brings together policy practitioners, government affairs professionals, legal experts, and regulatory influencers from across our diverse membership to provide a collaborative space for tackling the most pressing regulatory issues facing the tech sector. It serves as a central hub where techUK can share updates that help our members build a collective understanding of how evolving regulation affects their organisations and the wider industry on issues that cut across AI, data privacy, online safety, competition and more.
By connecting the industry together, the DRG fosters cross-sector perspectives that strengthen techUK’s policy work. Members benefit from early insight into policy developments, the chance to test ideas with peers, and the opportunity to help shape unified industry positions. The Group is designed to be both a sounding board for members’ own regulatory challenges and a driver for coordinated action, ensuring the tech industry’s voice is clear and credible in regulatory debates.
Objectives and purpose
Joining the DRG offers an opportunity to shape techUK’s policy advocacy on key digital regulation challenges which cut across AI, privacy, online safety, fraud and competition.
Governance and meetings
The Group will be chaired by techUK, and will come together for two hour sessions every 4-6 weeks to provide policy updates and a forum to discuss regulatory challenges with like-minded peers. The Group may also run one-off sessions on specialist topics to inform our approach and activities.
Members will also receive regular email updates, which could include personal outreach on specific topics.
