This year’s event will focus on Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation Hubs for European industry beyond 2020. The event is co-organised by the European Commission and the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism.

The Stakeholder Forum is a public and free event organised on a yearly basis by the European Commission and a Member State within the context of the Digitising European Industry initiative (DEI).

The conference will take place from the afternoon of 13 November 2019 to midday of 15 November 2019 at IFEMA Madrid, just a few metro stops from the airport.

This year’s edition is particularly relevant for Europe’s industrial policy, as the debate on the future Horizon Europe and Digital Europe programmes is ongoing. The focus will be on the European policies for Digital Innovation Hubs, Artificial Intelligence and industrial partnerships beyond 2020, and the relevant funding opportunities.

All the different actors involved in the digital value chain are invited to participate, including representatives from Member States and regions, national initiatives for digitalisation, industry, SMEs, academia, Digital Innovation Hubs and research and technology centres. They will have an excellent opportunity to share experiences, exchange best practices and discuss the future of EU digital industrial policy.

Our DIHs will attend, as well as our experiment partner Itainnova. We hope you can join us!
