Impactful Policy Frameworks
EU AI Act (Proposed, 2024 expected finalization)
The European Union's proposed Artificial Intelligence Act aims to regulate AI systems based on their risk level, with strict requirements for high-risk AI applications used in critical sectors.
This policy will directly influence the development and deployment of AI solutions by Springtide's portfolio companies, especially those with B2B models, requiring them to ensure compliance and potentially increasing development costs.
NIS2 Directive (Effective 2024)
The EU's NIS2 Directive (Directive on measures for a high common level of cybersecurity across the Union) expands the scope of critical entities and sectors required to implement robust cybersecurity measures and report incidents.
Springtide's investments in cybersecurity and SaaS will be highly impacted as portfolio companies providing or relying on digital services will need to meet enhanced cybersecurity and reporting obligations, potentially increasing demand for their security solutions.
Digital Services Act (DSA) (Effective 2024 for all online platforms)
The EU's Digital Services Act imposes comprehensive obligations on online platforms, including transparency around content moderation, user protection, and tackling illegal content and disinformation.
For Springtide's SaaS and platform-based portfolio companies, the DSA will necessitate significant adjustments to their operational and content management practices, impacting user experience design and legal compliance strategies.
