The geopolitics of innovation: How can democracies win the tech race?In 2000, Europe had 41 of the world’s top 100 companies; by 2021, only 15 remained. To bolster our global influence, Danish and European leaders must address rising competition and the challenge of losing out on new global leaders based in Denmark and Europe. Join us on the 16th November at 11:00 am in Matrikel1 along with key thought leaders to explore innovative ideas together and create concrete initiatives to fortify Denmark and Europe as economic and technological leaders in a complex global economy. Come and join us - sign up here.
When: November 16th, 11:00 – 12:30 Where: Danish Tech Startups, Matrikel1 – Mesh Community, 10 Højbro Plads, 1200 København K

A Digital Sovereign Europe and what it might mean for industryDI Digital and the University of Copenhagen invite you to an afternoon and evening with debates and talks on ‘A Digital Sovereign Europe and what it might mean for industry’. Expect to get updated on research as well as the latest policy and regulative developments within digital sovereignty and what this development means for companies. The afternoon is followed by a reception and talk: Governing the Information Environment? Calls continue growing to regulate artificial intelligence, counter disinformation, and hold social media companies to account. But how can we govern the information environment if we don’t understand it? Alicia Wanless, Director of the Partnership for Countering Influence Operations at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, will explore the challenges a broken research model poses to developing informed policy for a complex system, and what can be done about it. Come and join us for the debate - sign up here.
