Euractiv’s recent Tech Policy Conference brought together EU officials, industry representatives, and experts to take stock of digital policy and competitiveness in the new mandate. From the Digital Markets Act and AI regulation to disinformation and cybersecurity, the discussions explored how Europe can better anticipate technological change, foster open digital ecosystems, and create the right conditions for homegrown innovation.
With the EU facing geopolitical uncertainty and lagging behind in tech competitiveness, the conference underscored the importance of strategic alignment, smarter regulation, and long-term investment in digital resilience.
