WEBINAR – The EU’s New Tech Rules and their Impact on Transatlantic Business: what do you need to know and how should you prepare?

September 28, 2022 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT

Do you remember the EU’s GDPR and its extra-territorial impact on companies based outside of Europe?

 

The EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA), together, will form a single set of new rules that will be applicable to online intermediaries and digital platforms in the EU. These rules will also apply to online intermediaries and companies established outside of the European Union offering their services in Europe. They are scheduled to come into force in 2024 – or sooner for some type of companies – and might impact you.

 

Are you a US company already offering online services or products to clients in the EU? Are you considering expanding your online business to Europe? Are you a start-up or scale-up still developing your business model with an eye on Europe?

 

Don’t be caught unprepared!

 

Join us to find out what type of businesses/services/products will be covered by the DSA-DMA Package, what you need to know to anticipate on these new rules and how to build them into your business model.

Topics to be addressed

  • What are the DMA and DSA?
  • Which online services will be impacted and what type of companies should be concerned?
  • How will the DSM and DMA fit into the EU’s array of tech legislation alongside the 2016 General Data Protection Regulation?
  • What role will the EU/US Trade & Technology Council have with regard to the implementation of these rules and their impact on US companies?
  • What routes might the U.S. take as it considers similar regulations on tech companies?
  • What concretely can you do to prepare and what is the timeline?
