Opportunities for startups with the call for the Munich automatica Fair, the South Summit in Madrid and the Reflect Festival in Cyprus, and then this week there is Milan Design Week with all the Play3D events at Designtech's CoFactory. We interviewed US attorneys from Wilson Sonsini to learn about the latest dynamics related to investment and tech industries on both sides of the Atlantic and I bring you an in-depth look at European regulations affecting digital businesses.
