The event forms part of the Entrepreneurship School Week organized by ThinkYoung every year and will be the occasion on which ThinkYoung presents the new European Survey on "How Generation Z lives in the digital era and the benefits they find in it". This survey forms the basis of Digital Together's Manifesto, which will also be presented at the event.
Digital Together is being set up by leading innovators in a broad range of fields and sectors that are now linking with partners who will be able to shape the key features and modus operandi of the organization through their involvement at this early stage.
Digital Together aims to promote ever closer understanding and collaboration around digital technology through meaningful dialogue. It will achieve this through fostering transversal alliances that extend across and beyond the digital sector, anchored in a strong community of all stakeholders in the digital world: citizens, consumers' associations, industry associations, policymakers and companies and organizations that develop and/or deploy digital technology to the benefit of their stakeholders. Its rationale is centered on trying to answer a relevant question: "Could Digital really help us living better?"
