One impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe has been a step change in digital transformation affecting all sectors. Industries from pharmaceuticals to manufacturing, and services have begun to build an enabling foundation for the digital society. The European Commission has prioritized legislation to regulate emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence through the Artificial Intelligence Act, the upcoming Data Act, as well as through facilitating the creation of European data spaces in specific sectors (Health, Transportation).

Chaired by Paul MacDonnell, the Foundation Forum 2021 will feature three workshops moderated by CEPS, Eclipse Foundation and ETSI. These will focus on the role of AI regulation, technology, cybersecurity and privacy standards in enabling AI innovation and data governance in Europe. With a diverse group of stakeholders across different sectors, attendees will benefit from a wide range of discussions through a convention of key stakeholders.
