History
DigiWorld Institute
The DigiWorld Institute is a European forum open on the world. The Institute has taken existing IDATE initiatives, such as the DigiWorld Summit, the DigiWorld Economic Journal (Communications & Strategies), the DigiWorld Yearbook and the monthly clubs in Paris, London and Brussels, to the next level. Members have the opportunity to participate in think tanks on the core issues that try to shape the industry’s future, drawing on the knowledge of outside experts and the Institute’s own teams.
