On 2 July 2025, I-Com \u2014 on behalf of the PromethEUs network \u2014 convened policymakers, experts and stakeholders at the European Parliament for the conference \u201cSIMPLIFY TO COMPETE: Rethinking EU Regulation for a Digital Future\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hosting MEP Antonio L\u00f3pez-Ist\u00fariz White<\/strong> (AFET) opened the event, arguing that clear, balanced regulations\u2014paired with stakeholder input and strong oversight\u2014must streamline rules, ensure interoperability, and shield global supply chains.<\/p>\n

The floor then passed to Stefano da Empoli<\/strong>, President of I-Com, and Professor Steffen Hoernig<\/strong> (Nova School of Business & Economics \/ IPP-Lisbon) who unveiled PromethEUs\u2019 new publication (available a this link<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Following this presentation, Serge Le Gal<\/strong>, Horizontal Coordinator for Better Regulation at the European Commission, delivered a keynote focusing on the Commission’s strategy to streamline the legislative framework based on 4 pillars – effectiveness, simplicity, better law making and cooperation.<\/p>\n

A moderated discussion led by Aggelos Tsakanikas<\/strong> (Director, LIEE) showcased perspectives from three Members of the European Parliament: Jon\u00e1s Fern\u00e1ndez \u00c1lvarez<\/strong> (ECON), Pablo Arias Echeverr\u00eda<\/strong> (IMCO) and Mariateresa Vivaldini<\/strong> (ITRE).<\/p>\n

The conversation broadened with a tour-de-table, steered by Dar\u00edo Garc\u00eda de Viedma<\/strong> of the Elcano Royal Institute, that brought together voices from consumers, standards bodies, industry associations and think tanks. Speakers (Euroconsumers; CEN-CENELEC; ITI; Digital SME Alliance; CCIA; Vinces<\/strong>; Euromines<\/strong>) converged on the view that regulatory clarity and strategic investment will decide whether Europe seizes the second half of the Digital Decade.<\/p>\n
