Our Digital Future: Innovation meets Regulation
Our Digital Future: Innovation meets Regulation
Join on the 11th of February from 19:00 to 21:00 CET the discussion on topics related to the Digital Economy, Innovation and Competitiveness with representatives of Volt and innovative European start-ups!
You can join in-person or participate online.
The first part of the event will be held in English. However, questions can also be asked in German. The panel discussion in the second part will be in German, but questions from the audience can also be asked in English.
At the beginning of the event, Reinier van Lanschot (Member of the European Parliament for Volt) will join us live from Strasbourg and talk about how he advocates for competitive digital markets within Europe, how he got into politics in the first place and why he thinks broad political participation is important, especially now. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to ask him questions on these topics!
Then we will continue with a panel discussion in which Frances Noltekuhlemann (lead candidate Volt NRW for the 2025 federal elections), Felix Bünning (co-founder of viboo, smart buildings, energy efficiency) and Anja Reimann (expert on research, innovation, and international entrepreneurship, works for Dutch gov funding for startups) will talk about their perspectives and visions on an innovative economy. Among other things, we will find out why some founders prefer to set up in Switzerland and what Volt would like to change to make Germany and the EU more popular as a place to set up a business. The discussion will be moderated by Franziska Weber (direct candidate Cologne III & state list).
You will also have the opportunity to ask questions to our panel!
We are looking forward to exciting discussions about the Digital Economy, Innovation and Competition!
This event is the first in a series of European thematic community events. Thematic communities facilitate online policy discussion, will be a landing place for many grassroots initiatives across Europe, support policy teams on all levels of Volt with expertise and writing election programmes, and much more.
This is the first event of an event series with European thematic communities, to expand their European basis. Join us every month with a different European community in a different country. This month with the Digital Affairs Community (DigiCom) and in Germany!
Multiple other starting thematic communities are searching for co-chairs to help build the communities. Check out the vacancies here: https://volteuropa.org/vacancies-community
