We. Network. Europe. Young - Technological - Cross-border. Europe needs future. Future needs youth. Young people under 30 years today will play a key role in shaping the future of Europe.
Young people under 30 years today will play a key role in shaping the future of Europe. This is why EUREL, as the European umbrella organization for engineers in electrical engineering, electronics and information technology, and its members led by VDE from Germany want to establish cross-border networks between students and young professionals and open options for action for them. We want to establish the framework for stability in Europe.
With the 1st European Future Technology Summit (EFTS) in Brussels in early September 2023, EUREL has precisely made these issues the focus of a three-day workshop. 40 students and young professionals from EUREL member countries met in the heart of European politics to discuss key topics from the fields of AI, cyber security and digital with experts from academia, research, and politics at the premises of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.

VDE Summer Reception Brussels - Social highlight of the European Future Technology Summit 2023
Embedded in the EFTS, the traditional VDE Summer Reception Brussels took place at the Bavarian State Representation to the European Union in Brussels. The theme of the Summer Reception was aligned with the EFTS: AI and Trust in the Digital Space. The VDE Summer Reception was booked to capacity with 250 international guests, and so Dr Hans Michael Strepp (Head of Office at the Bavarian State Ministry for Digital Affairs) opened the evening event in front of full rows of chairs. Other keynote speakers like Prof. Dr Kristina Sinemus (Hessian Minister for Digital Strategy and Development), Axel Voss (Member of the European Parliament and Digital Policy Spokesman of the EPP Group) as well as VDE President Alf Henryk Wulf and Dr Sebastian Hallensleben (VDE Head of Artificial Intelligence & Digital Trust Department) were presented.
