Decoding Europe’s data sovereignty | POLITICO Events

Описание: Since the beginning of the new Von der Leyen Commission and in particular, since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, EU policymakers have been pushing for greater independence from US and Chinese technology – and in particular in the field of data.

While the European Commission negotiates a new data protection agreement following the collapse of the Privacy Shield, European Commissioner for the Internal Market Thierry Breton has said many times he wants Europe to win the “battle for industrial data” and for European data to be “stored and processed in Europe”.

Key topics to be discussed include:

What does it mean practically to store data in Europe?
Is there a risk of undermining the global nature of the digital world by creating European data spaces?
What would a more “data sovereign” Europe mean for the competitiveness of European companies?
Is there a contradiction between negotiating free data flows in international agreements and pushing for data sovereignty?
Is control over data a zero-sum game or is an open model beneficial to all players?
How do foreign technology companies fit into the European vision of technological sovereignty?
