The digital transformation and the integration of digital technologies into all areas of society and economy is the most recent challenge that the European Union is facing, and the Visegrad Group region is no exception. Digital transformation has already become a powerful driver of social transformation, reshaping individual lives and interactions.<\/p>\n

Digital transformation means a strategic, planned and organizational change \u2013 this change calls for the development of appropriate policies, regulations and various instruments to support this process while keeping it in within the limits we consider necessary. The Visegrad countries as the members of the Union are contributing to the commitment of establishing the Digital Single Market and want to ensure that people and companies fully benefit from the digital transformation.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the aim of the Conference is to bring together distinguished experts, professionals, researchers and practitioners from various areas, which have been directly confronted with the uptake and real applications of digital transformation. The event is divided into two main parts: 1) the panel discussion of the EU policy representatives<\/strong> will focus on different policy initiatives at the European level and their interaction within the next MFF (2021-2027); 2) the second part will present concrete examples from the Visegrad group countries, both from practitioners\u2019 and governmental perspectives,<\/strong> that confirm the continuous interest of our region\u00a0to be an active player in\u00a0ongoing processes\u00a0proper to\u00a0the\u00a0digital\u00a0transformation at EU level.<\/p>\n

In terms of audience, up to 100 participants covering Member State and Associate Country delegations (attach\u00e9s); European Commission, European Parliament, Committee of Regions, national offices; IGLO members; associations and other stakeholders interested in digital transformation.<\/p>\n
