Technology is at the heart of the most important social and economic advances of the last 20 years. It is an enabler of the digital transformation that is set to enrich how we live and work.  It is also often at the centre of controversy over how and for what purpose it collects, generates or uses data. This session will explore the inextricable link between digital transformation and privacy, and the European measures that hope to level the data playing field and prevent abuses of dominant positions in the market.
