Where was the G20 Innovation Ministers' Meeting held?
- A.Chapel Hill, North Carolina
- B.Raleigh, North Carolina
- C.Washington DC
- D.Boston, Massachusetts
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where the ministerial met on 1 and 2 September 2026. The hosts were the United States Department of Commerce and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the consensus text agreed there takes its name from the State, being called the Carolina Principles for Emerging Technologies. Option B names another city of the same State, a distractor that punishes half-remembered geography. Option C names the American capital, which is where such meetings are often assumed to be held but was not the venue here. Option D moves the meeting to an entirely different State. Tie the venue to the outcome and neither will be lost: the meeting at Chapel Hill in North Carolina produced the Carolina Principles, alongside the Innovation Ministerial Statement, the AI Prosperity Objectives and the AI Prosperity Compact.
