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. The Data Act aims to create a unified framework for data sharing across the EU, focusing on fair access and user rights, and granting IoT device owners control over the use of data generated by their devices.

The conference offers a platform for stakeholders to discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with the Data Act, with a focus on how increased data access can foster Common European Data Spaces, drive innovation, and strengthen EU competitiveness.
