Today has started the first day of EUROPEAN WEB3 SUMMIT BRUSSELS — the Summit where Web3 meets EU policymakers and Web2 businesses.
Irakli Beridze, who has spearheaded discussions on AI and Web3 noted, “When we first started to discuss AI and Web3 within the UN, there was a lot of negativity: it was always portrayed as a bad thing used in fraud. But the discussion has shifted, as we are witnessing how AI can solve problems and that it can be a positive force, combating abuse of children on the internet or fostering educational processes.”
The opening panel was devoted to Policies & Strategies for Web3 Transformation in Europe with participation of:
- Irakli Beridze, Head of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, United Nations, UNICRI;
- Christiane Kirketerp de Viron, Head of Cybersecurity Unit and Digital Privacy Policy, European Commission;
- Ricardo Simoes, Executive Director, INATBA;
- Hugo Volz Oliveira, Secretary and Founding Member, Instituto New Economy
- Ioana Surpateanu, NED, CryptoUK; CIO, Swash
Moderator of the panel was Alex Cohen, a Managing Editor at Cointelegraph.
“Web3 is a new face of the internet that promotes and deploys a new type of architecture that enables community ownership and more direct control of users over the economy of the internet. This was not possible before. Web3 can actually enable the portability of a user’s social graph, assets, gaming activities, online behaviors, etc. It basically enables the integration of a person’s lifestyle into new tech,” — stated Ioana Surpateanu during the first panel discussion of the conference.
The EW3S is a meta-platform coordinated by blockchain-related NGOs to facilitate open dialogue between Web3 and policymakers in Europe to help innovations flourish. The organizers are the Institute for Global Transformation and the Institute of Cognitive Modeling in Brussels, Belgium, in partnership with Blockchain for Europe.
“The world today is in the midst of rebuilding from both pandemics and geopolitical wars, and facing the reality of climate change. Blockchain technology will radically change the way we interact with the world. As a result, a more inclusive, democratic, and decentralized global economy is created. The key to interconnected blockchain adoption and development is to focus on practical use cases for Web3. The European WEB3 Summit is about this. By focusing on practical use cases for Web3, we can move to the next level of interconnected adoption and development of blockchain technology for the common good”, — said Viktor Berezenko, Founder of the Institute for Global Transformation.
The program of the event includes more than 10 discussion panels, dedicated to MiCA, Blockchain, DeFi, Best World Regulatory Practices, Digital Payments, Sustainability & Web3, Metaverse, Digital Identity, Investments in Web3, etc.
Among speakers are representatives of European Commission, European Parliament, UNICRI, Circle, CryptoUK, Revolut, reState Foundation and other experts, opinion leaders, entrepreneurs, government officials.
