Opening Remarks: Carmen Ciciriello, CEO, SEPA International

“My vision for a future European e-Invoicing landscape is of an ecosystem where many e-Invoicing solution providers can compete on a pan-European level because of consistent and common pan-European legal base and agreed global standard(s). An ecosystem where users can start sending and receiving e-Invoices directly from their internal accounting systems and automate payment instructions. “

Keynote: Giorgio Almansi, Deputy Director General for regional governance networks, communication and information systems engineering, Regione Toscana

In the place where modern banking was given seed centuries ago, the Region of Tuscany is, once again, providing fertile ground for developing a European ecosystem for e-invoicing.  Today, the region is not only a model of cooperation and interoperability between the public sector and private commerce but also an innovation lab for initiatives across the e-supply chain throughout Europe.

An economist with studies in Greece and Canada,  Costas joined the Commission in 1981 and worked in several units dealing with competition issues (sectoral state aids), competitiveness, innovation and industrial policy.  Currently he is Head of the unit “ICT for Competitiveness and Innovation” in Directorate General Enterprise and Industry
