CEPIS International Conference on Digital Skills and IT Professionalism 2025
2025-11-06 08:00 - 2025-11-07 17:00 | Universidad de Alcala, Spain
The Council of European Professional Informatics Societies (CEPIS)—part of the EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative—will hold its second International Conference on Digital Skills and IT Professionalism (ICODSIP) at the University of Alcalá in Spain on 6–7 November 2025.
The event will focus on two clear goals:

Building a world-class IT profession – exploring standards, career paths, and ethics that keep pace with breakthrough tech.

Boosting digital skills for all – sharing proven ways to bring every citizen along for the ride

Both aims support the EU’s 2030 targets: 20 million IT specialists and 80 % of citizens with at least basic digital skills. As digital technology becomes a bigger part of daily life, Europe needs more well-trained IT experts who can keep pace with rapid change.

MedTech Malta 2025 Summit
2025-11-11 08:00 - 2025-11-14 17:00 | mediterranean conference centre, Valletta, Malta
MedTech Malta has firmly established itself as the premier annual summit in Malta for medical technology (MedTech) and HealthTech innovation. Organized by MedTech World, the event provides a dynamic international platform where startups, investors, entrepreneurs, researchers, and industry leaders converge to share insights, forge partnerships, and accelerate innovation. Since its inception in 2020, the summit has grown into a global gathering point that not only highlights cutting-edge medical technologies but also positions Malta as a fast-rising hub in the MedTech sector.
One of the reasons Malta has successfully carved a niche in this highly competitive industry is its strategic location and market access. Lying at the crossroads of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, Malta offers a geographically advantageous base for companies aiming to scale across multiple markets. Its membership in the European Union further strengthens this position, as firms based in Malta enjoy regulatory alignment with EU standards and direct access to the single market. This makes Malta particularly attractive for international MedTech firms that wish to establish a foothold in Europe while maintaining connections to global partners.
