Equipping European SMEs with Skills & Technologies for the Digital Transformation (blended workshop)
2025-10-16 10:00 - 13:00 (Europe/Malta)
Across Europe, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in traditional industries are under increasing pressure to adapt to the digital era. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced data analytics, robotics, or IoT-enabled platforms are transforming production processes, business models, and supply chains. At the same time, the demand for digital skills is growing rapidly, while many SMEs face difficulties in identifying the right technologies, acquiring the necessary expertise, and investing in workforce training.
Sectors such as personal protective equipment (PPE), textile care, and medical devices illustrate these challenges well: they are highly regulated and often built on long-established processes, while at the same time confronted with increasing demand for traceability, regulatory compliance, automation and sustainability.
This workshop, organised by Small Business Standards, in collaboration with DTV and DIGITAL SME, will provide a forum for SME representatives, technology or standards experts, and policymakers to exchange perspectives on the skills and technologies driving digital transformation in the traditional industry. It will highlight opportunities for European SMEs to adopt new digital solutions, learn from concrete case studies, and discover resources and initiatives available to support their upskilling and innovation journeys.

AccessibleEU is conducting a study to better understand how large companies and SMEs across the EU approach accessibility – from awareness and perceptions to the design, development, and delivery of accessible products and services. The goal is to identify what support is needed to strengthen accessibility practices across sectors and Member States.
Contribute to advancing accessibility in Europe
Your input will help shape future EU guidance, funding instruments, and capacity-building initiatives, ensuring they meet the real needs of businesses.
By completing the survey, your company can contribute to:

Mapping current practices, including the tools, resources, training, and processes used to address accessibility;

Assessing awareness of accessibility and key EU regulations, such as the European Accessibility Act;

Identifying barriers and challenges faced in implementing accessibility measures;

Informing policy recommendations to provide better support for companies and SMEs.

Your feedback will directly influence the resources that enable European businesses to deliver more inclusive, competitive, and compliant products and services in the years ahead.
Complete the survey (approximately 15 minutes).
Validation Workshop – 30 October 2025
On 30 October 2025, a validation workshop will gather industry leaders, researchers, organisations representing persons with disabilities, and accessibility experts to discuss preliminary findings and share real-world examples. The insights will feed directly into the study’s final recommendations.

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.

DIGI-ME Ecosystem: innovazione digitale per le imprese del futuro
2025-11-20 14:00 - 18:00
The scope and speed of digital transformation pose a crucial challenge for businesses: identifying managers capable of interpreting innovation, transforming it into effective strategies and translating it into concrete growth. The current mismatch in the labour market is holding back investment, reducing productivity and weakening the competitiveness of Italian and European companies.
To bridge this gap, DIGI-ME was created, a European project that trains the new generation of digital innovation leaders and promotes the transfer of skills to businesses and markets through a dedicated ecosystem. The initiative connects academic excellence with the real needs of businesses, offering practical and collaborative courses on management, digital innovation and entrepreneurship.
Universities, research centres, innovative SMEs, technology parks and investors: the DIGI-ME ecosystem brings these players together in a network that integrates training, use cases and direct collaboration with businesses.
On 20 November, Kilometro Rosso (Bergamo) will host the launch event for the DIGI-ME Ecosystem: an opportunity to discover the advantages and opportunities of joining, through testimonials, practical examples and networking opportunities.

15th e-Government Forum on "The next steps of e-Government after the RRF"
2025-11-26 00:00
The 15th e-Government Forum will take place on 26 November 2025, at the Athens Conservatory, in three thematic rooms, with the main theme being: The next steps in eGovernment after the RRF.
In the context of the 15th anniversary e-Government Forum, which celebrates 15 years of continuous events, the critical phase of the completion, receipt and productive operation of e-Government projects will be examined, with a view to 2026-2027. Despite theoretical progress, significant discrepancies are identified between the initial designs and the implemented reality, in particular in terms of deliverables and operational benefits. In particular, areas such as digital security and communication networks highlight the problems posed by systems complexity and increasing cyber threats.
One of the most important moments of the 15th e-Government Forum will be the awarding of the e-Government Awards to bodies and services that are distinguished for technological innovation, design completeness and effective service to the citizen. At the same time, emphasis will also be placed on Artificial Intelligence, a new, rapidly growing sector, where Digital Governance has already taken its first steps, with particularly remarkable applications and services that are in full operation.
The conference will include parallel conference modules, such as:

The DPO & ICT Security World (Public Sector) with an emphasis on the Digital Security of public digital infrastructure.
Conferences on Data Center, supercomputing infrastructure and Open Data.
Presentations of facilities and implementations by public bodies and services, as well as technological trends and developments.
Discussions of public sector executives on the immediate developments in the field of integration of digital systems and issues arising from the complexity of applications and administrative procedures.

The participation of the executives of the Public Administration is free, while of the private sector only by sponsorship invitations.
The 15th e-Government Forum is under the auspices of public and private sector institutions that play an essential role in Digital Governance.
