Europe is widely regarded as a global leader in setting high standards of regulation and compliance, particularly in the realm of technology. From stringent data privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to embracing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, the European Union has prioritized the protection of individual rights, environmental sustainability, and ethical business practices.
While these regulatory frameworks are hailed for safeguarding user privacy and promoting responsible corporate behaviour, they have also sparked debates within the tech startup community regarding their impact on innovation and competitiveness.
To better understand the nuances surrounding Europe's regulatory landscape and its implications for tech startups, we reached out to our trusted network to gather insights on the topic with two industry leaders working on it.
For the first "Industry Talks", our Investment Manager, Hanna Selvaag Wangsmo, had a chat with CEO at ComplAI, Jeremy Gerst. For the second conversation, she talked to Chief Compliance Officer at Telenor, Silke Hitchke. You'll find both interviews here at the news feed.
