A disruptive technology is an innovation that significantly changes how consumers, businesses, or entire industries work, often replacing older legacy systems or creating entirely new markets.

Join us tomorrow in the new iTalk with the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM). We will explore how CNPEM integrates world-class scientific infrastructure with industrial collaboration to accelerate the development of disruptive technologies.

The Once-Only Principle addresses one of the most persistent frustrations in public administration: repeated requests for information that governments already hold.

This video from Austria shows how two major European digital initiatives – the Once-Only Technical System (OOTS) and the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet) – complement each other to resolve those concerns.

"The EU faces an issue of excessive dependencies on third countries in critical sectors such as Cloud, AI, cybersecurity...

The urgency to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness and technological sovereignty has never been greater.

I have an agenda to build a path to our European Sovereign Ecosystem, to a situation where we are not just consuming tech in a black box, coming from abroad."
