Shared Digital Future. Impact of key European legislation and proposals on the IoT and Edge community

The European Union has a globally prominent role to play, shaping the regulatory landscape that balances the freedoms that lead to innovation with the protection of the rights of citizens and businesses while attempting to provide legal certainty. The past decade has been one in which European political leaders have navigated a myriad of societal and economic challenges that have demanded measures that increase Europe’s resilience to systemic shocks and ability to compete in a less stable global political environment.
