What will be the impact of the 4th Industrial Revolution? Through a series of events, articles and working group meetings, Friends of Europe is bringing together stakeholders from both sides of the Atlantic. Their aim is to debate and propose a set of policy measures, incentives and approaches that would help Europe to be better prepared and ready to maximise the potential of the 4th Industrial Revolution – as well as provide the stimulus for greater transatlantic cooperation. Can Europe embrace the changes wrought by the 4th Industrial Revolution? How can transatlantic cooperation help Europe compete and contribute effectively in a rapidly changing global digital landscape? To launch this initiative, we held a conversation with the European Commission Vice-President for the Digital Single Market, Andrus Ansip on 28 November 2016 in Brussels. We discussed the opportunities and the obstacles Europe is encountering as the 4th Industrial Revolution takes hold, with a focus on current issues such as data-sharing and privacy, in light of the Commission’s forthcoming proposal on free-flow of data. Moderator: Dharmendra Kanani, Director of Strategy at Friends of Europe
