About This Event

The Ministry of Transport and Communications of Finland, together with the European Commission and the European Network and Information Security Agency, will organise an invitational conference, i2010 - Towards a Ubiquitous European Information Society, on 27-28 September in Espoo, Finland. The conference will address the opportunities and challenges that the rapidly developing information society will pose to political and business decision-makers as well as to the general public.

The conference will be hosted by Ms Susanna Huovinen, Finland's Minister of Transport and Communications. Ms Viviane Reding, European Commissioner for Information Society and Media, will address the conference. Some 300 decision-makers and leading experts from EU member states and other European countries are expected to participate.

The conference will examine the opportunities and challenges that new information and communications technology brings to decision-makers in society, to businesses, communities and individuals. The conference will also have three mini-seminars that will focus on information security, the intelligent car and intelligent transport systems, and consumer issues. The aim is to use the outcome of the conference as one of the bases for the discussions at the informal European Council meeting in Lahti in October, where the focus will be on the competitiveness and innovativeness of the European Union.
