At the time of the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the EU, the webinar aims at identifying areas for cooperation between the EU and Brazil, regarding digital trade and emerging technologies. Participants will explore key issues such as new digital infrastructures, 5G, cybersecurity, personal data protection, data-driven technologies, the Internet of Things and its applications, and Artificial Intelligence.
Speakers and participants will offer their perspectives on these issues and will explore areas where trade and cooperation can be strengthened in the short and medium term. Speakers will provide their critical evaluations on the measures that should be promoted and on the challenges that should be tackled to enhance cooperation on digital trade and emerging technologies.
The insights and proposals offered by speakers and participants will be consolidated and utilised to elaborate the agenda of a second webinar, to be held in May or June 2021 towards the end of the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the EU, aimed at tackling specific issues on where digital cooperation and digital trade may be fostered more straightforwardly.
