EIF’s MEP visits are aimed at offering an extraordinary hands-on experience of today’s state-of-the-art technologies in Europe and beyond, to make digitalisation tangible for legislators and reflect on its impact.

EIF Political members (MEPs) and their staff are invited to join an MEP visit to top tech sites in Belgium - a short ride away from the European Parliament - on Thursday 6 November 2025 and on Thursday 15 January 2026 (TBC).
