Data protection trends and regulations at Bitkom’s Privacy Conference 2025

Data protection: Balancing compliance and innovation

Data protection is crucial — but it can also slow down innovation. According to a recent Bitkom survey, a growing number of German companies are putting innovation projects on hold due to data protection requirements or uncertainties. As regulations such as the GDPR, AI Act and Data Act become more complex, companies face the challenge of ensuring compliance while remaining competitive and innovative. 

At Bitkom’s Privacy Conference, we bring this challenge to the centre of the discussion. How can organisations successfully balance privacy, compliance and innovation? What practical strategies help turn regulation into a competitive advantage?
