We call for a STRONGER DIGITAL EUROPE

The new political leadership taking office in 2019 stands in front of a great opportunity to reaffirm their commitment to the European project and to bring Europe to the forefront of the emerging global digital era.

The future of Europe is D-I-G-I-T-A-L

Digital Single Market

To generate growth and remain competitive in the global digital era, Europe must consolidate its Single Market and address fragmentation.

Inclusion

Fear of technological development should be transformed into opportunities by equipping Europeans with the right set of digital skills.

Green growth

Europe must leverage digital technologies to build a sustainable, low-carbon, and resource-efficient economy and society.

Innovation

Europe must invest in the take-up of digital technologies such as AI and 5G, supporting the creation of cross sectorial innovative ecosystems in sectors where Europe has a competitive advantage. 

Trust

Government and industry must cooperate globally to strengthen cybersecurity and protect citizens’ privacy while enabling data flows

Agile & mission-based policy

Europe must define clear goals for policies and drive agile policy-making processes based on multi-stakeholder engagement and experimentation through regulatory sandboxing. 

Leadership

European leaders must define ‘what they want’ and set a clear vision and goals for how digitalisation can improve European society based on common values
