Hello from Warsaw! We're currently joining the European Commission's DSM cloud stakeholder conference in Poland's capital. The meeting will inform about the state of the European data economy and cloud market, in particular regarding the self-regulatory initiatives in this sector. An update on the SWIPO (cloud switching/porting data) working group will also be on the agenda. Before Warsaw, we also traveled to Brasilia to discuss lessons learned under GDPR for the new Brazilian privacy law LGPB, and joined the privacy conference in Berlin. Find a recap of our activities below.
Happy reading,
Your SCOPE Europe Team.
