Programme

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.

Dedicated brokerage area

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.

Who should attend? 

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

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
