The Digital Transformation & Law Summit 2025 in Düsseldorf made one thing clear:
Digital transformation presents new opportunities and challenges for companies, technology providers, and legal advisors alike. During our summit, we joined you in discussing key developments at the European regulatory level, the strategic use of AI and data, and the growing demands for security and compliance. What flexibility remains in the face of ever-expanding regulation of digital technologies? Will the European Commission need to revisit and adapt its current regulatory framework? What guardrails must be observed in doing so? And how can we meaningfully promote our digital future?
One thing became evident: success in the digital age requires a close interplay between technology, strategy, and law.
With this follow-up document, we would like to provide you with a concise overview of the most important takeaways and insights from the presentations and discussions. It offers a compact summary of best practices, key questions, and legal guardrails that companies should keep in mind – both now and in the future.
We hope these insights will provide valuable guidance as you continue to shape and implement your digitalization strategies. Thank you for your participation, your contributions, and the open exchange – we look forward to continuing this dialogue with you!
