I-Com, the Institute for Competitiveness, on behalf of PromethEUs organised the EU Conference “The Multisided Path to European Digital Sovereignty and the future of EU-US Relations”.
The event took place on Tuesday 30 November 2021, 14:30 – 17:00 CET in Brussels, at The Office, Rue d’Arlon 80.
Participants who did not have the possibility to be present physically were able to stream the event on our website.
In order to unbox the EU’s multisided path towards digital sovereignty, the conference was divided in 3 different Panels: Panel I touched upon EU’s digital and tech competitiveness; Panel II explored the digital regulation in the EU, thereby involving a discussion on key dossiers such as the Digital Markets Act, the Digital Service Act, the Artificial Intelligence Act and the Data Strategy. Finally, Panel III addressed the recently launched Trade and Technology Council and the future of EU-US relations.
