Tech Leadership Forum
Join us in person or online!
What are the new leadership priorities in Europe's digital economy?
New leaders, policies and agendas are emerging in a period of elections and shifting political scenarios in the EU, UK and US. The European Commission and Parliament’s priorities are set to reshape the regulatory environment for innovation as digital technologies and services become ever-more critical for economic prosperity and security throughout the continent.
In efforts to drive digitalisation and competitiveness across industries, the focus is on investing in infrastructure, fibre upgrades and the rollout of 5G and beyond. The rapid increase in AI adoption and data traffic offer new revenue opportunities and growth potential for businesses, as well as rising demand for semiconductors, technology hardware and other essential components for digital transformation. At the same time, the dominance of tech giants, rising costs and climate change, and escalating cybersecurity threats, are all adding to the pressures confronted by an industry in flux.
What has changed across the tech landscape and what policy shifts and new leadership priorities are at play in Europe’s digital economy? Where are the opportunities to consolidate and build infrastructure resilience, relevance and strategic value in the face of growing market competition from the US and Asia?
The Tech Leadership Forum -hosted by the Financial Times in partnership with Connect Europe-, will bring together industry CEOs, policymakers, investors, innovators, NGOs and civil society. The discussions will assess how effective leadership and strategies can underpin the latest technologies and strengthen connectivity as a competitive economic asset in Europe.
