Tech and Politics Forum
The Tech & Politics Forum Returns to Brussels
Overview
Never before has technology been so high on the agenda of business and political leaders, as the digital world increasingly becomes indistinguishable from the real world.
If used judiciously, it could prove to be part of the solution to the many challenges faced by Europe and the rest of the world: war, inflation, trade, the emergence from Covid and ongoing social divides.
Europe, which until now sought a “third way” between China and the US, is now pursuing a transatlantic alliance prioritising values and production - and potentially, ways to tame Big Tech.
How will accelerating technology decoupling impact supply chains, cyber risks and global partnerships? How will Europe’s groundbreaking moves to promote competition and fight disinformation impact society at home and abroad? How will changing ownership structures across technology, telecom & media affect companies and citizens?
The Tech & Politics Forum 2022 will gather industry CEOs, policymakers, investors, NGOs, civil society and thinkers to debate topics including the shifting geopolitical context, new rules in Europe and beyond, and the impact of changing power bases on TMT, industries and citizens.
