The ‘Research to Reality – Digital Solutions to European Challenges’ event is set to take place on 5 and 6 February 2024 at The EGG in Brussels, marking an important milestone in Europe’s digital journey.

Organised under the Belgian Presidency in collaboration with the European Commission, it will address critical questions that define the EU’s aspirations, serving as a platform where stakeholders can converge to deliberate, ideate, and concretise the roadmap for Europe’s Digital Decade and twin transition. One of the key issues the event aims to address is how Europe’s research in digital technologies can be leveraged to fulfil the ambitious goals of its Digital Decade. With a focus on strategic leadership in key digital technologies, the event aspires to translate research advancements into tangible benefits for citizens and businesses alike.

The first day features keynotes, interactive breakout sessions and workshops aimed at creating mutual synergies between digital research in Horizon Europe and actions in the Digital Europe Programme. Inspired by current achievements and by your needs, insights and experience, we will craft concrete recommendations and actions for better aligning these major European digital funding and investment programs.

For those passionate about digital advancements, be it researchers, entrepreneurs, companies, or policymakers, this event is the gateway to actively partake in Europe’s digital transformation. It’s a rendezvous to shape the EU digital future collectively, leveraging expertise, experiences, and collaborations.
