Specialist conference
Details
The motto of this year's European Data Summit, "Sustainable Competition," refers to German and European efforts to tackle current challenges – first and foremost digitization, equitable globalization, and sustainability. This is to be achieved via international coordination and a contemporary regulatory framework. The first two days of the event will take place at our Academy and the third, as has traditionally been the case, at the European Commission’s Representation in Berlin.
The event will only take place in presence and will not be broadcasted live. Please register only if you would like to attend the event on site.
