IE Evening in Brussels: A Conversation on Policy & Technology + Networking Drinks

Policy & Technology: Governing the Digital Age

As emerging technologies reshape economies, institutions, and global power, the question is not whether governance will change, but how leaders can respond strategically and responsibly.

Hosted by IE University’s School of Politics, Economics & Global Affairs, this event brings together experts in geopolitics, public policy, and technological transformation to explore how governments and international organizations can adapt to rapid technological change and design forward-looking policies.

Moderated by Professor Michele Testoni, the discussion will feature Leonardo Quattrucci, a leader in digital transformation with experience across the European Commission, global tech companies, and deep tech ventures.

Following the talk, join us for a networking session with current students and alumni in Belgium. This is a great opportunity to gain firsthand insights into the IE experience, ask your questions, and connect with the IE community.
