Europe’s ability to produce safe and reliable digital solutions is crucial both for its competitiveness and resilience. Innovation potential is especially large at the intersections of critical digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing and cybersecurity.
The merging of previously isolated technologies, known as technological convergence, can drive European innovation and growth through more secure value chains and high-value hybrid applications.
Welcome online on 21 October to hear key findings from Sitra’s working paper Technological convergence — pushing European innovation forward. The event covers relevant European policy initiatives, geopolitical dynamics and case examples of technological convergence, along with policy recommendations for enhancing cross-sectoral innovation in critical digital technologies.
We invite you to join the discussion!
