Balkan Law and Tech Summit 2021
20th October 2021, 4 -7 pm CET
Following the success of the very first Balkan Law and Tech Summit on the 4th Industrial Revolution in the Region, which took place in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2019, it is with great pleasure that we write to invite you in the Balkan Law and Tech Summit 2021: Innovation and Democracy (virtual edition) hosted by the European Law Observatory on New Technologies and the Internet of Things Council, on Wednesday 20 October 2021.
In this Summit we want to map the current situation and raise the awareness of what geopolitical strategies are operating in what many consider the Europe’s backyard, but in reality itโs the center.
Here is our preliminary agenda related to this yearโs theme:

In the coming months, the EU will allocate its new multi-annual funds on the basis of plans to be submitted by our national, regional, and local authorities. It is thus especially important that we all develop a good sense of what is needed, what is important, what deserves scrutiny. This is the way to ensure that all citizens have a say and see their expectations reflected in those plans.
