THE DIGITAL SINGLE MARKET TUESDAY, 8 DECEMBER
– Whatʼs in it for us? THE GLOBAL ECONOMY IS BECOMING DIGITAL Everything from our daily work, the way we communicate and interact with other people, to the way our homes and car function, is increasingly connected to and enhanced by the internet. In the broader economy, digitalisation has become a crucial factor in ensuring the global competitiveness of European businesses, with everything from production and logistics to marketing and sales becoming more and more automated and connected. Europe already has the capabilities to take the lead in this digital global economy, but we are currently lagging behind and not making the most of our capabilities. Especially, fragmentation and barriers in the Digital Single Market are holding the EU back. The Commission has already launched its Digital Single Market Strategy to tackle these challenges, but what will it actually take to move Europe from the legislative drawing board to a digital reality? And what’s in it for both citizens and businesses? This and many other questions will be tackled at our high-level conference on the digital single market in Copenhagen 8 December 2015.

THE DIGITAL SINGLE MARKET TUESDAY, 8 DECEMBER
– Whatʼs in it for us? The break-out sessions consists of three parallel workshops, each with their own specific theme and panel of experts. Participants can choose one workshop for each break-out session. BUSINESS 4.0. FROM DIGITAL FAÇADE TO DATA DRIVEN BUSINESS MODELS The global economy is undergoing a digital transformation. Business leaders from both big, small and medium size companies are eager to adapt to this reality, but can find it challenging to find the right way. How do we ensure that all business sectors benefit from digitalization, what kind of policy framework will that require and how should companies go about adapting their business model?
Panel — Jörgen Gren, Member of Cabinet, Vice President Andrus Ansip — Leon V. Schumacher, CEO, Digital Ekho — Iordana Eleftheriadou, Policy Officer, DG GROW DATA PROTECTION, TRUST AND E-PRIVACY On data protection, trust and e-privacy much is moving in the EU. The Luxembourg presidency aims at concluding a revised data protection regulation. The Commission is working on a privacy seal and a revised e-privacy directive. The European Court of Justice has taken a landmark judgement on EU citizens’ data in the US. Digital trust is vital for business and growth; data use and privacy are not mutually exclusive.
Panel — Marc Hemmerling, Member of the Management Board, The Luxembourg Bankers’ Association — Tine A. Larsen, Chair of the Luxembourg Data Protection Authority — Henning Mortensen, Senior Policy Adviser, DI Digital — Pernille Tranberg, Advisor, Digital Identity — Rosa Barcelo, Senior Expert, DG Connect THE INTANGIBLE ECONOMY. IMPORTANCE OF IPR IN A DIGITAL ECONOMY Intellectual Property is key to European competiveness. Our IP rights need to be globally enforced. However, there are areas which are not yet adapted to a European digital and borderless society. How can we adapt our system of IP-protection to the digital economy?
