The event will be focused on questions where the EU is on the road towards achieving these goals, what major dilemmas the Commission faces and what the next major steps will be. The dialogue with the Vice-President will allow discussion on issues ranging from 5G, to defense against cyber-attacks, transnational E-commerce, or geo-blocking.
