Save the date, Digital Talent EU Days returns!
Digital Talent EU Days return to Dublin on 15–16 October 2026, bringing together Europe’s advanced digital skills and women in digital communities under one programme.
Hosted by Trinity College Dublin and co-organised with DG CNECT, the Advanced Digital Skills Cluster and Connecting Women in Digital, the Summit will run alongside Digital Week, creating a unified forum for policy, education and industry leaders.
This year’s edition, aligned with the Digital Decade Policy Programme, the Union of Skills and the AI Continent Action Plan, focuses on addressing ICT skills shortages and strengthening inclusion in digital careers across the EU27.
Discussions will centre on how Europe can better attract, train and retain digital specialists, while ensuring women are fully represented in high-growth technology sectors.

Regulate or innovate? The debate at the STEM Women Congress Madrid 2026
At the STEM Women Congress Madrid 2026, the debate explored one of the most pressing questions in technology today: how to balance rapid AI innovation with the need for robust ethical safeguards.
Two teams presented sharply contrasting perspectives:
The Pro Regulation team argued that clear frameworks are essential to ensure trust, accountability, and safety. They highlighted risks such as biased automated decisions, misuse of sensitive data, and lack of transparency in high-impact systems.
The Pro Innovation team, including our CEO & Founder Tanya Suarez, warned that Europe risks losing global competitiveness. With a small share of global AI investment and rising compliance costs, they stressed that overregulation can delay product development and push talent and capital elsewhere.
Both sides agreed on a central principle: AI must remain human-centric. Whether through regulation or innovation, the challenge is not choosing between safety and progress, but finding a workable balance between the two.

Open source as Europe’s infrastructure strategy
Open source is becoming an infrastructure strategy for Europe’s digital ambition. Across cloud, edge, IoT and AI, it is increasingly viewed as the foundation of sovereignty rather than a development choice.
CEI-Sphere with the Hourglass Model coordinates across ecosystems to achieve interoperability and resilience.
Our managing consultant, Damir Filipovic, presented the CEI-Sphere and Hourglass model at the Open Community Experience in Brussles.
By 2030, the aim is a sovereign interoperable digital stack. Success will depend less on code than on coordination.

Quantum readiness is becoming a strategic necessity
At the Privacy Symposium (20–24 April 2026), global experts converged on a clear message: privacy, artificial intelligence and quantum technologies are now tightly interwoven with national security and economic resilience.
A central concern is the uncertain timeline for quantum computing to eventually undermine today’s widely used encryption methods. Despite this uncertainty, momentum is building around Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), with speakers stressing that preparation cannot be deferred due to cost, complexity and organisational readiness constraints faced by CIOs.
Cybersecurity is increasingly framed as a matter of resilience, containment and continuity, particularly as AI-driven threats and distributed infrastructures expand the attack surface.
In the session on quantum communication and post-quantum data protection, contributors including our Managing Consultant Brendan Rowan, Laure le Bars, Antonio Lioy and Homer Papadopolous emphasised the importance of aligning investment decisions with data lifecycles, international standards, and practical deployment realities.

Introducing new technologies leads to better results?
The future of healthcare digitalisation is being actively shaped. At the Horizon TechConnect Stakeholder Conference in Utrecht, we joined policymakers, clinicians and industry leaders to tackle a critical challenge: ensuring technology genuinely complements human care across Europe.
Over the two days, the programme combined plenary sessions, roundtables, interactive workshops and a site visit to UMC Utrecht, creating a rare space where frontline experiences, research insights and policy perspectives could meet.
Let us help you turn challenges into opportunities and unlock your business’s potential in a rapidly evolving world.
