Our team is also happy to share the takeaways of the January webinar on the use of emerging technologies in regulatory reporting and other interesting events. We also invite you to check out upcoming events on cybersecurity standardization, big data test infrastructure in public administration and open data maturity assessment.

On 27 January, the BLSI community hosted the first virtual breakfast of the year, dedicated to the question of emerging technologies in regulatory reporting. This webinar was a great opportunity to connect and explore the topic with the audience, building on the preliminary findings of the Commission’s study on the topic. We also had the pleasure to learn from the experience of Emmanuel POIDEVIN, CEO of an SME, e-Attestations, about using technology to streamline the regulatory reporting process and the related challenges.
