Digital Technologies and Policies in the Context of Indo-Pacific – European Cooperation

The mission of the INPACE project is to support the implementation of the Digital Partnerships between the European Union and Japan, South Korea, Singapore, as well as the Trade and Technology Council with India. In this context, a 2-day Symposium was organised in Seoul, Republic of Korea on Digital Technologies and Policies: Supporting the Indo-Pacific-European Digital Partnerships.

The symposium explored the latest advancements in digital technologies and transformative applications in the Indo-Pacific Region and in Europe. The event addressed the intersections of technology and policy, fostering dialogues between experts from both regions to strengthen digital partnerships with the Republic of Korea, Japan, Singapore, and the cooperation with India in the TTC context. The symposium provided a forum to discuss groundbreaking technologies and their impacts: 

• Trusted AI: Unlock the potential of AI while ensuring reliability and ethics 
• Chips of the Future: Discover breakthroughs in semiconductor technology 
• Future Networks: Explore the evolution of connectivity and communication 
• Cybersecurity: Delve into strategies for safeguarding our digital world. 

These sessions highlighted cutting-edge developments and the policies shaping these fields. The symposium served as a catalyst for collaboration, fostering mutual understanding and joint research initiatives between European and Indo-Pacific organisations.
