techUK Strasbourg Visit: Engaging with the European Parliament

techUK invites members to join our upcoming delegation to Strasbourg, France on 15-16 December. This is a unique opportunity to engage directly with Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and key stakeholders shaping the EU’s approach to technology and defence policy. 

Against the backdrop of the evolving UK-EU relationship, this delegation will provide invaluable insights and access for UK businesses and policy teams navigating the EU landscape. The visit will offer a series of curated engagements with: 

• Members of the European Parliament from relevant committees and political groups 

The agenda will deliver: 

• Strategic insight into the regulatory and political environment for technology and defence firms operating in or seeking to engage with the EU. 

• Direct dialogue with MEPs to discuss priorities, challenges, and opportunities in the EU tech and defence sectors. 

This delegation is open to techUK member companies and is particularly suited for: 

• C-level executives (CEOs, Founders, Managing Directors) 

• Heads of policy, public affairs, or regulatory affairs 

• Companies with existing activity in the EU market or those looking to establish stronger ties
