IAPP Brussels 2022

<p>The EU feels the threat of what is coined 'tech colonialism' of the U.S. and China, where the EU member states are increasingly dependent on digital infrastructure of a handful of dominant market players and the majority of European data reside in foreign clouds. The sovereignty concerns have led to a U-turn in EU policy and restoring Europe’s ‘digital sovereignty’ is now a core ambition of the European Commission. We will discuss the threats to EU digital sovereignty in order to better understand the EU Digital Strategy based on open data, open eco-systems and open source, and its disruptive impacts , which – as any regulation – bring new requirements, but also opportunities for innovation.</p><h5>What you will learn:</h5><ul><li>What the threats to EU digital sovereignty are</li><li>How EU aims to restore digital sovereignty, and how the policy initiatives fit together</li><li>What it means for data transfers</li><li>If the EU data strategy can be aligned with GDPR</li><li>What is expected of privacy professionals and how they can advise the business</li></ul><h5>Panelists</h5><ul><li>Paul Nemitz, Principal Adviser on Justice Policy, European Commission</li><li>Lokke Moerel, Senior Of Counsel, Morrison & Foerster; Professor, Global ICT Law, Tilburg University</li></ul><hr>
