Openness is part of the architecture of the digital world. From crowd-sourcing ideas for public spending initiatives to crowd-funding startups, it is the internet’s ability to connect people and ideas that drives so much of its power to shape politics and businesses.

This event series, in Brussels, Berlin and Tallinn, will explore the role of openness in Europe’s digital transformation today. How is digital openness shaping innovation? How can it help governments to improve public services and strengthen democracy? And how can it help countries to share ideas for tackling environmental, social and economic challenges?

Each panel will focus on a different dimension of digital openness in the European context: open economies (Brussels), open innovation (Berlin) and open society (Tallinn). Expert speakers, drawn from across the public and private sectors, will share experiences and ideas, and debate the relative benefits and challenges of achieving an open digital economy in Europe.
