The dialogue at the Tech & Politics Forum 2021 will come at a crucial moment: the European Commission has begun distributing grants from the EUR 672.5bn Recovery and Resilience Facility to member states that earmark 20% of funds for digitisation initiatives. In the meantime, the EU and US have renewed efforts to cooperate on technology. We hope that you will be able to join us. Apply to attend in person (
