The EU Digital Summit 2024 highlighted the key priorities for a thriving digital economy within the Union. As the EU aspires to lead in the digital era, the focus revolved around strong policies, incentives, and regulations that empower citizens and businesses to thrive during the EU Digital Decade. Addressing critical topics such as semiconductors ecosystem, cybersecurity, language models, digital skills, and the AI safety and regulation and its impact on the job market, were at the forefront of discussions.
“I think it’s a comfort that every European can say to the social network providers here that there is a European rulebook.”
“Companies should set some common ethical standards. In this regard, Europe can play an important role in setting the right standards, in terms of values, transparency, inclusiveness.”
“I hope that both the strength of the EU and the US can be bundled so that we ensure a rules-based order for the digital world.”
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.
