EU Digital Summit 2025

5 June

Egmont Palace, Brussels

FOSTERING INNOVATION AND BUILDING DIGITAL RESILIENCE FOR EUROPE’S FUTURE

As Europe pushes toward its 2030 digital targets, the 2025 EU Digital Summit will assess progress, address challenges, and refine strategies to strengthen the bloc’s digital economy. With the Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA) reshaping competition and accountability, the EU must navigate fast-moving technological shifts while ensuring regulatory relevance. Moreover, AI, quantum computing, and cybersecurity are redefining Europe’s role in global digital governance, raising urgent questions about innovation, resilience, and sovereignty.

Amid growing economic and geopolitical pressures, Europe must take bold steps to secure its digital future. Strategic investment, cross-border collaboration, and stronger public-private partnerships will be crucial to maintaining competitiveness. The summit will be a critical moment to translate ambition into action and cement Europe’s leadership in the digital age.

Our mission statement

Our mission is twofold: we aim to bring politics and business together in order to provide them with an opportunity to debate and pursue their common goals, giving a voice to all sides of the debate. The other priority of EBS is to provide European institutions with a platform where they can place their top priorities in the spotlight and advance the development of new pieces of legislation through discussion with a variety of actors and stakeholders.
