Dominated by outside (tech) giants, Europe is finally addressing the challenges ahead.

The panel discusses the next important steps and concepts to secure a Europe that is more technologically independent, securing political, economic, and social stability.

From a European technology infrastructure that focuses on openness, sustainability, and independence, fighting monopolies, creating equal market opportunities, and competing on the global markets, the panel addresses the most important issues and next steps for getting the internet—which we never gave up—back.
