LIVE WEBINAR

European Economic Recovery with Software Automation

November 19 | 10:00 am CET

Organized by The Permanent Representation of Romania to the European Union and UiPath

While the vast implications and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are still unravelling, it has already reshaped the way we live and work. As a result, the Union designed the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). The Facility aims to support a sustainable, inclusive and long-term recovery while promoting green and digital transitions. Each recovery and resilience plan submitted by the Member States will have to include a minimum of 20% of expenditure to foster digital transition.

The event will provide a forum for discussion on the road ahead in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in the public sector, the existing barriers to the uptake of digital technologies and the potential of such digital technologies to support the economic recovery within the European Union.
