Technology Obliges
Technology Obliges
This strategic visit was centered around the presentation of a Position Paper book detailing 198 recommendations developed by 400 experts within three foundational groups: Innovation, Sustainability, and Cooperation.
These recommendations were the focal point of discussions with high-ranking officials from 14 EU Directorates-General. Our three groups Innovation group, sustainability group, and cooperation group had separate meetings with their relevant DGs of EU. The division of these meetings was as follows:
Innovation Group – (DG CNECT, DG MOVE, DG RTD, DG CLIMA, DG AGRI, DG COMP)
Sustainability Group – (DG REFORM, DG ENER, DG CLIMA, DG COMP, DG RTD, DG AGRI, DG ENV)
Cooperation Group – (DG BUDG, DG EMPL, DG TRADE, DG REGIO)
Our delegation’s engagements went beyond routine meetings, facilitating in-depth discussions that challenged existing methodologies and underscored our commitment to advancing technologies that prioritize societal benefit. Under the banner of “Technology Obliges,” we championed a human-centric approach to digital innovation and sustainability throughout Europe.
