THE INDUSTRY & INVESTMENT EVENT ON APPROACHES TO PROCESSING SENSITIVE DATA
The 2022 EU event has now finished but we will be in Boston from May 18-19 - learn more here
Privacy, security, and regulatory constraints create difficulties for data-driven projects. This includes initiatives involving sensitive data being processed, accessed, monetised, bought, sold, shared, aggregated, or analysed.
To unleash the power of sensitive data for these functions, Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) are being deployed by many different sectors. Industries benefiting range from financial services to healthcare to pharmaceuticals to telecoms to government bodies and include many others. The summit addresses how to make previously unfeasible projects that involve sensitive data possible!
Also, the summit focuses on how to mitigate risks. It focuses on how to reduce the chance of data breaches or data misuse – even by third parties when data is exported, decentralised, or migrated to the cloud.
However, there is a range of PETs that can address these challenges. Choosing which PETs are right for your needs and integrating them into your organisation is not always straightforward.
The Second Privacy-Enhancing Technology Summit Europe introduces and guides you on the different types of PETs so you can:
- Use sensitive or restricted data to its full extent to meet strategic goals.
- Enhance data security so that data breaches never happen, no matter where the data is being processed.
- Facilitate compliance with varying and evolving data regulations concerning PII.

In my childhood I dreamed of being a doctor, however as I am super scared about blood, surgery and whatever is going in that direction I changed my direction towards being part of industries that are driving innovation and investing in R&D. I strongly believe in the purpose of Roche, doing what patients need next, and I am trying to live it as a value in my everyday life.
I live in Basel with my family and during my spare time I love being with my partner and enjoying my little one growing up, spending time with friends and finding a good place to have dinner or enjoy a good glass of wine, discovering food and flower markets. Travel is another big passion that I hope will restart very soon and collect memories all around the world to decorate our place.

2022 HIGHLIGHTS
Testimonials
Hear from participants from the 2022 Privacy-Enhancing Technology Summit Europe as they share their thoughts on what they enjoyed.
Myself and Zama were really pleased to be a platinum sponsor of this year’s PETs Summit in Zurich. Privacy Enhancing Technologies really are the future of how we protect and preserve data across industries and geographies. It was a pleasure to meet and interact with colleagues from various backgrounds and to take part in conversations that are absolutely critical to the future of these groundbreaking solutions.
I really enjoyed the diversity of attendees backgrounds ad work experience, from deep tech to customer-facing roles. One of the main challenges for the wide adoption of PETs is to connect people working on the technologies they rely on with those who develop or deploy concrete solutions, and this event was one of the rare an precious opportunities to do that.
It was great getting together with experts and solution providers, finally in-person, in order to exchange on PET and to learn about most recent developments.
I've acquired basic knowledge about PETs and potential applications on use cases applicable in my industry. I could also network and establish some relationships.
Having the opportunity to learn from more advanced industries and explore own use case ideas with providers.
I really enjoyed both the sessions and networking opportunities. It’s a small community so getting everyone in a room together is incredibly valuable
I really appreciated the presentation of the business cases with PET. It highlights the challenges for PET integration.
For the first time over a few years, the main pioneers of secure computing were together in the same room. Very little time was left to breathe.
After 3 years of pandemic, great to get connected in physical with peers, academics, and technology expert on PETs. Workshop a bit short in timing but really interesting especially discussion on the benefits but also the challenge and barriers PETs user may face.
Really enjoyed meeting everybody working on PETs.
