11th Annual Transatlantic Digital Economy Conference: 

The geopolitics of technology


Tuesday, 10 October 2023

With a wave of digital advancements, new security risks and vulnerabilities in critical technologies will continue to emerge, especially given current geopolitical instabilities. The technology may be digital, but the effects are real – the way governments regulate these risks is important. Who will design the rules for this new world, and for whose benefit? How can the EU and the US work together to regulate new technologies and deliver resilience to an increasingly digitalised society? Register now to hear from Roberto Viola, Director-General, Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology, European Commission and more.
