On 29 March 2022, Carnegie Europe organised the first EU Cyber Direct New Tech Roundtable. This meeting was the first instalment of a series, which aims at advancing research around the EU’s cooperation with relevant partners on key issues at the intersection of emerging technologies, cybersecurity, defence, and norms.
The roundtable brought together a select group of 24 scholars, experts, and policymakers. They met in Brussels to profit from an in-person setting, to deep-dive into emerging disruptive technologies (EDTs) and avenues for EU-NATO cooperation, and to workshop concepts, ideas, and recommendations.
This new report summarises the main messages and key takeaways from the discussion, which explored
- The state of play of recent EU and NATO initiatives concerning EDTs;
- Specific EDTs case studies such as AI systems and quantum-enabled technologies, and their impact on (cyber)security and (cyber)defence;
- Avenues for fruitful EU-NATO cooperation, especially regarding the effective and responsible governance of EDTs.
