FT-Connect Europe Forum
Europe's race for digital competitiveness
Europe faces an urgent need to accelerate innovation
Europe’s economy is at a critical juncture as the digital transformation race intensifies. The European Commission is preparing a new wave of strategic legislative proposals, including a forthcoming Digital Networks Act and an AI and Cloud Act, which will play a key role in shaping the future of advanced connectivity and digital services across the EU.
What are the latest priorities for European policymakers and business leaders in tackling the complexities of digital sovereignty and supporting economic growth? How is the Commission’s approach to infrastructure and regulation evolving to attract more investment in advanced connectivity networks and digital services such as AI?
The FT Connect Europe Forum, hosted by the Financial Times in partnership with Connect Europe, will bring together industry CEOs, policymakers, investors, innovators, NGOs and civil society. The discussions will explore the policies, investment and collaboration needed to strengthen Europe’s digital capabilities and close the innovation gap with global tech leaders.
