The Tech Hub Breakfast – IKEA

November 12, 2026 8:50 am - 9:30 pm

Product Safety & Product Liability in the Age of Innovation.

Join us for a Tech Hub Breakfast exploring Product Safety & Product Liability in the Age of Innovation with Ikea, and how evolving European regulations are shaping the future for businesses developing innovative products and services.

The European regulatory landscape for products is changing rapidly. The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) and the revised Product Liability Directive (PLD), which enters into force in December 2026, introduce new expectations for businesses, particularly those working with AI, software, connected devices, digital services, and other emerging technologies.

During this breakfast, we will give technology startups an overview of key product safety and liability considerations when bringing new consumer products and innovative solutions to market. We will explore how the new regulations affect startups, emerging risks related to AI, software, cybersecurity, and software updates, and why safety-by-design and early compliance can help businesses avoid costly redesigns, incidents, and corrective actions. The session will also provide practical steps for managing product safety and liability risks.

We will be joined by Dmytro Kolomoytsev, Product Liability Leader at IKEA of Sweden. Dmytro has more than 20 years of international legal experience and holds law degrees from Ukraine and Sweden. His work covers product liability management, recalls, accident investigations, product safety risk assessments, and regulatory matters relating to consumer products and food. In his current role, he works with product liability and product safety matters across IKEA markets.

We hope to see you there!
