Exchange on the DMA and DSA
Focus on the CEE

WEDNESDAY, 20 OCTOBER, 11:00 AM CET (120 MIN)

PART I: 11:00 - 12:00 AM CET (60 MIN)
Conceptualized like a roadshow delving into each European region and its specific potential, obstacles and challenges, this series of virtual discussions will put into contact policy makers, experts, and SMEs, to create a fruitful and constructive dialogue on the impact of upcoming digital regulation, namely the DMA and DSA, on the daily experience, operations and prospects of European businesses. The aim is to evaluate and assess in detail how each proposed amendment will shape the digital environment, with the ultimate goal of creating a forward-looking policy framework that allows growth and innovation without stifling Europe’s entrepreneurial spirit.
