The Brussels Blueprint: De-Risking EU Expansion for VCs & Global Startups

This high-value executive briefing, The Brussels Blueprint: De-Risking EU Expansion for VCs & Global Startups, is the essential roadmap for non-EU scale-ups and investment firms looking to conquer the European market without incurring devastating regulatory fines or product delays, demanding not just compliance but a strategic convergence of laws.

You will gain mastery over the critical compliance environment, learning to integrate GDPR (data privacy), the NIS2 Directive (cybersecurity for critical sectors), the EU AI Act (AI product safety/governance), and even niche requirements like PART-IS into a single, cohesive strategy, including how to conduct legally robust Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA); moreover, the session introduces the new pillars of the EU's digital market, detailing how to navigate the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) for finance-adjacent tech, how the tiered obligations of the Digital Services Act (DSA) impact online platforms, and the user rights and data sharing mandates of the landmark Data Act.

The session extends beyond compliance by revealing key mechanisms for growth: we will demystify how to leverage European Commission and Horizon Europe funding to fuel expansion, navigate the decision-making processes of the Council, Parliament, and EEAS, and provide you with exclusive introductions to powerful policy and business networks in Brussels and Luxembourg, alongside practical guidance on setting up an EU presence, including essential facts about taxation in Europe, and even detailed insights into the EPSO selection process for recruiting top institutional talent, all while networking with peers and experts over a curated tasting of fine European wines from France, Italy, and Spain.
