GfS Talk: The changing digital ads ecosystem and its impact on startups

The European Commission is drafting two new advertising regulations: The Digital Services Act and The Digital Markets Act, that will have a huge impact on startups and small businesses. This talk will discuss these policy changes in depth and describe Google’s privacy-forward approach to ads that offer users greater control and transparency. 

Google for Startups is inviting startups from the EU to participate in a conversation about the future of the digital ads ecosystem and its impact on business.
