Data for Innovation Conference

On 11 September 2024, join policymakers, industry experts, and innovators at the upcoming Data for Innovation Conference in Brussels, Belgium. The conference event offers a chance to explore the transformative power of data and its role in enhancing EU competitiveness.

Held one year before the Data Act comes into effect, the conference is an opportunity to discuss key initiatives shaping the future of Europe's data economy.
