DESCRIPTION

In the EU, the creation of a digital economy and a Digital Single Market 
are seen as drivers of future innovation, competitiveness and growth. 
These ideas are enshrined in the EU 2020 strategy and are researched in 
a number of projects, including the Baltic SEA Regional project, Digital 
Innovation Network (DIGINNO). The project is aimed at promoting uptake 
of ICT in the business sector, developing innovative digital public 
services and facilitating Digital Single Market related policy 
discussions on Baltic Sea Region level.

In addition to the digitization initiatives within the Baltic Sea 
Region, different EU countries have embarked upon digitization policies, 
technology and market initiatives aimed at creating digital economies. 
These policies and initiatives are aimed at facilitating the uptake of 
ICTs and digital technologies in the business sector and the 
facilitation of digitized public service delivery. However, EU countries 
are not at par in the development of these policies, technologies, 
services, markets and other initiatives. This creates an opportunity for 
a forum where different EU countries can exchange ideas on digitization 
policy development and the facilitation of certain digitization initiatives.

This conference presents a forum for this opportunity. The conference is 
organized in partnership with the DIGINNO project. At this conference, 
the prospects and challenges towards digitization initiatives within the 
EU will be discussed. These prospects and challenges will be discussed 
within the policy, relevant technology, and infrastructure and market 
context. The conference will enable the identification of best practices 
and the sharing of ideas via paper presentation sessions. It will also 
enable brainstorming on these issues via panel sessions.

Participants will come from academia, businesses, digitization networks 
and government agencies. The participants of the conference will benefit 
from speakers and participants within and outside Europe.
