NOV 25
Dublin Castle, Ireland
This year’s virtual event will be held from 10:00 – 13:00 GMT, in Dublin Castle, Ireland on Thursday 25th November.
Our theme this year is “Innovate for a Sustainable Europe”. The topics will focus on how technology can help protect the environment, how innovators are working together to build a digital Europe, and ways in which a collaborative ecosystem could be built to train young talents for the ICT industry.
An impressive list of speakers will be featured from domains such as education, innovation and sustainable development across continental Europe. Participants will include senior representatives from universities, research institutes, enterprises, and start-ups as well as other key influencers.
Looking into the next decade, technologies like 5G, AI, cloud, IOT and digital energy are creating a world in which everything is connected, sustainable, and intelligent.
We would like to continue our commitment to work with our partners for a greener and more innovative Europe, with a focus on collaborating with local communities to bring a better connected and environment-friendly society for every person, family and organization.
