The Genval Forum is a premiere in the European Union capital and is specifically targeted at the EU ecosystem, anticipating the EU’s increased interest in technology with potential defense applications. This interest will manifest itself through EU funding and investment.
Whether for civilian or military uses, responsible tech is more than a buzzword. Regulatory compliance in accordance with democratic values will be a prerequisite for all EU investments. Learning the rules from those who built them will increase preparedness for when they come into effect.
The new EU political cycle will bring important decisions in support of innovation, dual-use technologies, and defense. Innovators at the Genval Forum will be the examples lawmakers look to when crafting the new rules and allocating funding.
There are no tickets available to the Genval Forum for the general public. All attendees are nominally invited and are relevant actors in the ecosystem. Everyone attending is a potential supporter or business partner.
Banks and European institutions have traditionally shied away from dual-use or defense investments. That trend is reversing. Pioneering investors will want to be part of this new wave and will look for dual-use companies that can succeed and scale on the European market.
Compliance with the new EU digital playbook can be complex and at times cumbersome. Partnering up with compliance specialists in attendance can make compliance a smooth journey and can give companies a competitive edge.
