Tuesday 25 August (7h30-9h30 CEST)

Invaluable information for international business leaders

Professor Ingrid Moerman from the renowned R&D center IDlab (Imec-Ugent) is leading 300 researchers in Ghent, the 10th tech city of the world. One of their results is an open industrial wifi and 5G tech stack.
She will update us on the technology readiness for European industries.

In one month we will disclose which CEO/CIO has started to move away from US tech – he/she will explain why, how, and what the results are.

Former banker and serial entrepreneur Federico Pirola from Milan has already done it. He moved several businesses to European IT. Now his Swiss investment vehicle will invest in companies that are building part of the European tech stack. Ready for a more resilient Europe.
He will explain how easy it is to use European alternatives for most common applications.
Meet three interesting new contacts
Thé place to be for CEOs, COOs, supply chain managers, procurement leaders, sales directors, and business developers of mid-sized international industrial companies, who want to get inspired about solutions to strategic challenges in European value chains.
