Strengthening Europe’s position in the global data-driven economy and advancing its digital single market is crucial. To achieve this, smart regulation serves as a key enabler, attracting investments, reducing market barriers and driving ethical tech innovation. Amid global competition for AI dominance and high expectations for cutting red tape during this Commission term, regulatory technologies (RegTech) emerge as powerful tools to streamline complex compliance processes, allowing saved resources to be redirected toward value creation.
Join us for a discussion with industry, academia and policymakers to explore how European regulations can better support innovators and how innovations like RegTech can enable seamless regulatory compliance. The event will provide a deep dive into the potential of turning regulatory compliance into a competitive advantage, showcasing how technologies like AI have a unique momentum to empower organisations to streamline their reporting, reduce costs, and adapt to evolving realities as first-movers in their fields.
Participants will gain insights from compelling case studies on streamlining compliance in highly regulated sectors including healthcare, sustainability, and finance.
Attendance on site by invitation only. Online participants can sign up via the website of our media partner Euractiv.
Doors will open for on-site participants in Brussels at 12:00 for badge collection. Following the hybrid event, a closed-door networking lunch will be held exclusively for on-site attendees.
The emcee of the event is Jennifer Baker from Euractiv.
The event program and speaker lineup are currently being finalised. We will share updates on this page as soon as details are confirmed.
