Europe 2024-2029: From Regulatory to Innovation Superpower

Event

🇪🇺 Europe 2024-2029: From regulatory to innovation superpower?

The 2019-2024 European mandate has been a game-changer for the European tech ecosystem. From digital markets to online content, cybersecurity, data, cloud, all the way to artificial intelligence, the EU has delivered its promise to regulate the digital economy. What’s next?

After creating a strong regulatory framework, we believe it is time for European policymakers to create the conditions for European tech champions to grow and thrive within it.

For this reason, startup organisations from different Member States have joined forces to facilitate direct discussions between European innovative companies and policymakers in Brussels. This initiative aims to address EU priorities for 2024 and the subsequent five years following the EU elections.
