The third edition of the EIT Digital Conference took place in Brussels on 11 September, featuring a range of experts in the digital world from high-ranking political officials to deep-tech entrepreneurs.

The event offered participants the chance to take part in hands-on demos, giving them an insight into the technologies that will shape the digital future of Europe. These innovative workshops covered the fields of digital wellbeing, infrastructure, cities, industry and finance.

Interactive thought leadership sessions were also on the agenda and participants were able to hear from industry experts on wide-ranging issues facing Europe, such as the future of digital education, the future of digital platforms and scaling up digital businesses.

This Event Report covers the highlights of the EIT conference and sheds light on some of the future innovations dawning on Europe’s tech horizon.

Dear reader,

Media is a pillar of democracy – as long as it can function properly. Now more than ever we need unbiased, expert information on how and why the European Union functions. This information should not be behind a paywall, and we remain committed to providing our content for free.

We know our readers value our reporting. We know journalism that covers the EU in a clear, unbiased way is critical to the future of the European Union.

And we know your support is critical for ensuring this independent and free journalism.

Don’t take the media sector for granted. It was already fragile before the coronavirus pandemic. And as people can’t meet, media companies have lost a major source of revenue: events. EURACTIV is supported by a mix of revenue streams including sponsorships, online advertising, EU-funded projects, and policy debates. All of these sources of revenue are impacted by the current crisis. 

 

While media struggles, disinformation thrives. We are already seeing fearmongering, fake news about the EU response, and increased threats to freedom of the press.


For more than two decades we have provided free, independent, multilingual reporting on the European Union. We continue to believe in Europe, and we hope you do too. 

Your financial support at this critical time will allow our network of newsrooms across Europe to continue their work when Europe needs it most.
