EU Data Strategy: How the Data Governance Act and the Data Act will Facilitate the Access to and the Reuse of Data

Webinar | 05.05.22, 7:00 AM CDT - 9:00 AM CDT

Expectations for the data economy are high: data will fuel innovation and growth in various sectors, especially in the life sciences, automotive and energy industries. The EU has the ambition to become the leader in a data-driven society by creating a digital single market in which harmonized rules apply. The Data Governance Act and the Data Act are cornerstones in this strategy and will encourage the sharing of non-personal data between governments (B2G) and businesses (B2B).

In this seminar, we will examine the legislative process, and the purpose, the structure and the content of both Acts. We will also take a look at the practical consequences that the Acts’ adoption may have for your organization.

State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
