(From ec.europa.eu)

Bringing together over 25 high-level speakers and 200 participants, this conference on 2 December in Brussels aims to convene leading business people, academics, and politicians to take stock and discuss EU-level measures to speed-up the digital transformation of European industries and enterprises.

It will be hosted by Elżbieta Bieńkowska, European Commissioner for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs, with the participation of several MEPs and Chief Executives from European industry and business organisations.

Background 

Digital technologies are driving what has been called the "fourth industrial revolution". They have the potential to transform EU industries and have a significant social, economic and environmental impact. In addition, disruptive business models and improved production processes, empowered by digital investments, will generate new international market opportunities. Using resources more efficiently, partly thanks to the uptake of digital technologies, will also bring new growth and job opportunities. To realise the full benefits of state-of-the-art technological and market developments however, concrete measures are needed for industries and enterprises.
