She will be joined on Stage One by European Commissioners Carlos Moedas (Research, Science and Innovation) and Pierre Moscovici (Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs) to share her vision of “ Innovation in Europe--Making It Happen”.

Embodying the offensive face of the European Union’s anti-monopoly chief since 2014, Margrethe Vestager has investigated digital economy giants including Apple and Google, and has not hesitated to impose fines totaling several billion euros for unpaid taxes and breaking competition rules.

Margrethe Vestager is EU Commissioner for Competition.
