The Digital4EU Stakeholder Forum will take place in Brussels on Thursday 25 February 2016. This one-day event, organised by the European Commission, will be centred around the progress made in creating a Digital Single Market in Europe.

Digital4EU 2016 is the second edition of the #Digital4EU Stakeholder Forum, which focused on President Jean-Claude Juncker's digital priorities.

Digital4EU 2016 will concentrate on five areas:

• The European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) mobilising digital projects;
• Delivering the Digital Single Market – from the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) to action;
• The Digital Economy: the data and computing opportunities for Europe
• Innovate, start and scale-up;
• Platforms, is there a need to regulate?

Please check the Digital4EU Programme to get more details about the agenda of the event.

Commissioner Günther H. Oettinger (@GOettingerEU), responsible for the Digital Economy and Society, a representative of the Dutch EU Presidency and Roberto Viola (@ViolaRoberto), Director-General of DG Connect, will hold keynote speeches during the event. Claire Bury, new deputy Director-General of DG Connect, will close Digital4EU 2016.
