Join policymakers, industry experts and innovators at the upcoming Data for Innovation Conference. Explore the transformative power of data and its impact on EU competitiveness.

Data Innovation Conference - Brussels, Belgium 11 of September

Taking place one year before the Data Act becomes applicable, this event provides an excellent opportunity to discuss key initiatives that will shape the future of Europe's data economy. The Data Act aims to establish a unified framework for data sharing across the EU, emphasising fair access and user rights. Amongst others, the Act grants IoT device owners the right to control the use of data generated by their devices.

The event will provide a unique platform for stakeholders to discuss the opportunities and challenges related to the Data Act, focusing on how increased data access can foster Common European Data Spaces, drive innovation and boost EU competitiveness.

Please register (using the yellow button to the right). Since the venue has a limited capacity, registrations are subject to validation by the organisers.
