Starts in 1 day from now
LocationAalborg, Denmark
ProgrammesDanish Presidency Event where you can join leaders from business, academia, and policymaking to shape Europe’s digital future, driving competitiveness and sovereignty. Explore key research areas, investment priorities, and policy strategies for the digital transition.
Day 1 – July 2, 2025
The first day will be more strategic and policy minded, with a programme that features keynotes from Danish and EU digital leaders. A panel will explore how Europe can balance tech independence with business competitiveness. Later sessions look at using public funding to draw private investment and getting AI and data innovations to market faster. The day ends with a talk on sustainable AI and a networking dinner.
Day 2 – July 3, 2025
After the opening, two separate tracks will run in parallel - one for Digital Europe (creating value with the programme, all you wan to know about submission and evaluation), and one for Horizon Europe (focus on SMEs, all you want to know about EDICS). Followed by two presentations on EC studies (key considerations for strategic digital tech in FP10 and the EU's critical digital capaciities deploymend beyond 2027). The day finishes with local site visits to showcase tech in action.
There will be a dedicated brokerage area at the event venue managed jointly by the local EEN, Ideal-ist and DEP4ALL, allowing participants to meet up and e.g. discuss project ideas for the current Horizon E urope Cluster 4 and/or Digital Europe calls. A separate registration is needed.
This conference aims both at policy makers and at organisations that are active in the field. If your organisation is quite active in the digital domain - Horizon Europe or Digital Europe - then this will be the place in 2025 to meet your counterparts from all over Europe, and to interact with the key players of the European ecosystem

Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
