Building Europe’s Tech Resilience - The EuroStack
Building Europe’s Tech Resilience
On the eve of the Franco/German Summit on European Digital Sovereignty (18 November) the EuroStack Initiative Foundation e. V. will hold a Roundtable discussion on the 17th of November, 4-6pm, in cooperation with the Merantix AI Campus.
The EuroStack Initiative promotes the vision that Europe needs to power up its tech capabilities and assets to reduce its tech dependencies from external suppliers.
With its extraordinary competences and resources, Europe must reverse its decline among the world’s digital powerhouses, to regain productivity, charge its economic growth and support its defence needs.
You are invited to a Roundtable at the Merantix AI Campus, Europe's leading hub and community for AI. Advancing AI innovation with a community of 80 AI-startups, researchers , industry teams and investors, the Meranitx AI Campus is strategic initiative by the Merantix group - building and investing in AI since 2016.
The Roundtable will gather, in informal discussion, corporates, institutions, tech associations, funders and political figures from multiple Members States. Join us!
