The current geopolitical tensions and the rapid pace at which digital technologies are transforming our societies not only create significant strategic and security challenges, but also opportunities for economic growth. How can Europe become a digital superpower?
This session will unpack how the policy objectives of the European Commission’s Digital Single Market Strategy have evolved over the past 10 years, how the landscape of competition policy is shifting, and the implications this has for global tech governance.
Please note that the roundtable discussion takes place in person only. Refreshments and snacks will be provided.
