DATA FORUM 2022

What does the European legislation need to foster data-driven cross-border experimentation and effective data sharing?

Data Forum 2022 examines the creation of a federation of Data-Driven Innovation Hubs from the law and ethics perspective. It outlines the current and upcoming regulatory landscape and its impact on cross-border data-driven innovation and experimentation.

Using the EUHubs4Data experiments and assets offering as a reference, it pinpoints the policy and ethical challenges of data sharing and addresses them with tangible examples. The event provides a far-sighted view of the creation of federated ecosystems and data spaces in Europe.

The half-day event brings together an inspiring set of speakers with a wide variety of expertise. The panellists include EU policymakers, researchers, and representatives from SMEs, startups and DIHs. Giving the spotlight to innovators and research projects building European data markets.

Data Forum 2022 provides insight drawing from the concrete experience of actors working in the field. The event welcomes entrepreneurs and SMEs creating data and AI services, DIHs wanting to strengthen their ecosystem, ethics and law scholars analysing the effects of the regulation, policy-makers and experts shaping the environment or anyone curious to see how the future of European innovation is shaped.
