Date: Wednesday, 25 February

Time: 14:15-15:15

Despite the recent political tendency towards the simplification of EU data protection obligations—and the steps already taken in the UK through the Data Use and Access Act— the need for secure and reliable international data transfers remains a pressing concern. The continued absence of clear, harmonized guidance creates ongoing challenges for both businesses and regulators, hindering the adoption of essential technologies and weakening trust in cross-border operations.

This panel will examine the most significant obstacles facing key stakeholders and offer practical insights into how they navigate these complexities in their daily operations. The discussion will also explore the potential role of robust, industry-led standards in fostering long-term stability and consistency, particularly amidst shifting geopolitical and regulatory dynamics.

We look forward to what promises to be a dynamic and insightful discussion. Stay tuned for more updates from the conference.
