Virtual meeting
We’ll start off by exploring the concerns business users have raised about the European Digital Identity Wallet with FPS BOSA. KU Leuven will then take us into the revised AI Act timeline, explaining the important changes to the implementation dates and what organisations need to be aware of in the coming months and years. We’ll finish with a look into what the European Commission’s draft Cloud & AI Development Act (CADA) could bring for the business market and our next steps.

(in English) The AI Act timeline: the new deadlines
The implementation of the EU AI Act reached another important milestone on 2 August 2026, but the recent approval of the Digital Omnibus on AI has changed several provisions and key deadlines. This session will take you through the most important updates to the existing timeline: which deadlines have shifted, which have not, and which are entirely new.
