We’re always glad to see European innovation getting the attention it deserves, and even more so when our own community is part of the conversation.

On 16 November, the 2026 will bring together European tech SMEs, innovators, industry leaders and policymakers in Brussels to discuss how Europe can strengthen its technological ecosystem and accelerate the adoption of homegrown solutions.

🎙️ Among the confirmed speakers is Andrei Kelemen, our CEO, who will join the conversation on European technology, innovation and digital sovereignty.
The agenda will explore some of the topics shaping Europe’s tech landscape today, from scaling European solutions and reaching global markets, to strengthening defence technologies and exploring the growing intersection of AI and energy.

We’re looking forward to being part of these conversations and to a space where European innovators can connect, exchange ideas and create new opportunities together.

More speakers to be announced soon! 👀

Can blockchain and GDPR actually work together?

The short answer is yes — but privacy needs to be considered from the very beginning, not added as an afterthought.
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) recently released its final Guidelines 02/2025 on the processing of personal data through blockchain technologies, bringing more clarity to what GDPR compliance means in practice when blockchain is involved.

In their latest article for the Cluj IT blog, Flavius Florea and Cătălin-George Velișcu from Wolf Theiss, one of our members, take a closer look at the new Guidelines and some of the questions organisations should consider before choosing a blockchain model.

From the role of permissioned networks to storing personal data off-chain and making correction or deletion possible, the article looks at how blockchain solutions can be designed with privacy in mind from the start.
If you work with blockchain, Web3, data protection or digital solutions, this one is worth a read.
