The Digital Agenda Summit which will take place at the Square Brussels Meeting Centre in Brussels on Monday 3 October 2011 is generating a lot of interest.
As fully recognised by the EU 2020 Strategy and the Digital Agenda, the Internet is increasingly changing our daily lives in a positive way and used as a key enabler for industry sectors and contributor to societal challenges such as climate change and an ageing population. High performance networks providing fast access to innovative, quality services and products are essential for the success of the Digital Agenda for Europe.
With less than 2 weeks to go until the Summit, ETNO and the Financial Times are pleased to announce that we already have over 250 senior representatives registered to attend, including members from the European Parliament, European Commission, permanent representations, national regulators and ministries and chief executives from ETNO member companies and the ICT sector at large.
