EU-Indo-Pacific Digital Partnership Conference 2025
2025-10-28 - 2025-10-29 | Singapore
The EU-Indo-Pacific Digital Partnership Conference 2025 will bring together policy makers, researchers, innovators, and business leaders to discuss and advance the cooperation between the European Union and the Indo-Pacific countries in the field of digital technologies and their application. It supports the implementation of the Digital Partnerships between the European Union and Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and the Trade and Technology Council with India.
The EU aims to strengthen the existing digital partnerships, exploit synergies between them, and establish new ones. The signing of the EU-Singapore Digital Trade Agreement (EUSDTA) on 7 May 2025 marks a milestone in the cooperation between the EU and the Indo-Pacific countries. It provides legal certainty by codifying high-level norms on data protection and source-code safeguards, while reducing compliance frictions for small and medium-sized enterprises. By aligning European regulatory strengths with Singapore’s position as an agile digital innovator, the partnership demonstrates that high data-protection standards can coexist with open markets and innovation, putting forward a model for future digital trade frameworks and tech alliances.

Europe offers great opportunities for researchers and innovators from the Indo-Pacific. European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Funding program is one of the largest and broadest in the world and it is open for collaboration with a large number of countries. The collaboration within Horizon Europe and the next Framework Program can happen via the association of non-EU countries to the Framework Program, as for the Republic of Korea, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand and many others, but also in dedicated sub-programs and calls in certain domains. Moreover, organisations from low and middle income countries are entitled to apply for funding within the scope of calls for proposals. The program funds a broad range of activities, from research scholarships and staff exchange to large-scale collaborative innovation projects that involve industry, end-users, researchers, and others.

The EU-Indo-Pacific Digital Partnership Conference 2025 will discuss core digital technologies and opportunities for collaboration between the EU and the Indo-Pacific countries on the development of technologies and their applications and technology-related regulations and policies.

How standards can pave the way towards the right to access information
2026-03-24 14:30 - 15:30 | Online
Open Data, Interoperability & Digital Government in Latin America
Public access to information increasingly depends on how well digital public systems are designed, aligned, and interoperable. While European standards provide a strong reference framework, their impact ultimately depends on how they are implemented within public administrations.
This webinar explores how EU-aligned standards for open data and interoperability are being translated into practice through InDiCo-Global Open Call projects. Drawing on concrete experiences from Mexico and Guatemala, the session will examine how semantic standards, interoperability frameworks, and capacity-building efforts support more transparent, efficient, and inclusive digital government.
The discussion will also reflect on what it takes to move from policy frameworks to operational deployment, and how cooperation between public authorities, standardisation bodies, and implementation actors can support this transition across regions.

Seminar on Human Rights and ICT Standardisation
2026-04-14 10:00 - 16:30 | Brussels, Belgium
Organised by the European Commission, in collaboration with the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
Supported by the EU-funded projects StandICT.eu ,INSTAR and InDiCo Global
–
The seminar follows the workshop organised at WTSA-24 on “How can ICT standards ensure that human rights are upheld in the era of new and emerging technologies, and it is one of the actions proposed in the contribution from the EU Member States and the European Commission to TSAG 2025.
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, emerging technologies are revolutionizing our world, creating significant opportunities for innovation and societal progress, but also raising complex challenges that impact human rights. As these technologies – including artificial intelligence, metaverse, and 5G/6G – become more embedded in everyday life, it is critical to ensure that human integrity, dignity, and rights are upheld.
Human Rights are defined by regulators, and compiled in Conventions, Declarations and different legal texts. This workshop seeks to explore the role that ICT standards, which are crucial on the implementation of products, services and applications relying on the rise of new technologies, can play to preserve human rights in a connected digital world.
The discussions will focus on the role of technical standards in ensuring that these technologies are developed and deployed in ways that are consistent with human rights, including privacy, data protection, non-discrimination, access to impartial information or even right to work.
This event highlights the importance of a multi-stakeholder approach, bringing together diverse perspectives from governments, international organizations, the private sector, civil society and standards development organizations. Collaboration among these groups is vital to ensure the understanding of what is practically needed and meant to develop safe and trustworthy standard-setting processes.

GDPR and Anonymisation: From Legislation to Technical Solutions and Standards Definition
2026-05-18 14:00 - 15:30 | Online
On the 10th anniversary of the adoption of the GDPR, this webinar explores if and how data anonymisation practices have evolved to comply with the legislation.
Drawing on speakers specialised in anonymisation techniques, the session will examine how the industry has evolved to respond to the requirements introduced by the GDPR. Has the Regulation introduced new technical requirements and an increased demand for anonymisation tools? Has this resulted in widespread industry adoption? And which have been the most challenging aspects of the implementation process?
The discussion will extend to examine how the technological evolutions prompted by the GDPR have fed into new or updated standards on data anonymisation and pseudonymisation.
Finally, the session will engage with participants to explore potential ways forward, and how the data anonymisation landscape may evolve in a changing sector — including in light of the widespread availability and rapid evolution of generative AI.

Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 amending Regulation (EU) 910/2014 on electronic identities, authentication and signatures (eIDAS 2) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union this spring 2024. This amendment established an ambitious European Digital Identity Framework including EU Digital Identity Wallets (EUDIW) which provides a means of identification across Europe. This will bring about a major transformation of security of the European digital infrastructure facilitating cross border transactions and supporting seamless access to financial, governmental and commercial services across Europe with a high level of accountability.
The EUDIW now are now being implemented and tested by EU nations ready to go live by end of 2026. Also, use of the EUDIW is already being trialled for a range of large-scale pilot applications for governmental services businesses, banking, vehicle registration and travel.
CEN and ETSI have been working together with the EC in 2025 to provide an initial set of standards and specifications for implementations of the EUDIW. These standards are now being refined and extended to ensure a high level of security, with interoperability between all national EUDIW implementations and their usage by the EU digital infrastructure. The workshop will present the set of existing standards for the EUDIW and ongoing work in refining and extending these standards.
Who should join?
The workshop will be of direct interest to all those concerned with ensuring a secure digital infrastructure across Europe including regulators, providers of mobile identity solutions, manufacturers of secure elements / smart devices, trust service providers, application and secure solution providers.
Why attending?
The CEN and ETSI standards underpinning the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDIW) will have a major impact on the European market which solution providers need to be aware of to keep up with changing environment. The workshop will provide the opportunity understand the standardisation being applied to the EUDIW and interact with the leading experts working on this standardisation.
