Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e. V.
Unter dem Motto „Enforce. Simplify. Build.“ beleuchtet der Summit, wie Europa eine glaubwürdige Durchsetzung im transatlantischen Kontext sicherstellen, Regulierung gezielt vereinfachen und seine technologischen Fähigkeiten stärken kann – vom modernen Datenrecht und Cloud-Infrastrukturen bis hin zu Kompetenzen, Investitionen und strategischer Beschaffung.
Der European Data Summit bietet eine Plattform für strategischen Austausch darüber, wie Europa regulatorische Führungsstärke in Innovation, Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und digitale Souveränität übersetzen kann.
#EUdataSummit - Enforce. Simplify. Build.
