V4 Digital Day
27.10.2015 / 14:26
On the occasion of the Czech Presidency of the Visegrad Group the Czech Permanent Representation to the EU hosts the conference: „V4 Digital Day“, which will take place on 9th November 2015. The aim of the event is a presentation of successful companies from the V4 countries operating in the field of digital technologies and contribution to ongoing debates on Digital Single Market Strategy.
In the days when the internet and digital technologies redefine existing business models and constitute entirely new business segments, moving from fragmented national markets to the Digital Single Market is one of the main priorities of the Czech Presidency of the V4 Group.
The aim of the event is a presentation of progressive and successful companies from the V4 countries operating in the field of digital technologies, followed by a panel discussion to exchange information, clarify opinions and formulate requests to ongoing debates on DSM Strategy published by the European Commission on 6th May 2015.
The „V4 Digital Day“ therefore brings together representatives of the V4 technology companies, Brussels business and diplomatic community, officials of the EU institutions, Member States' governments, representatives of NGOs and think tanks.
The event is organized by the Czech Permanent Representation to the EU in cooperation with Seznam.cz.
