The European Commission published the fourth State of the Digital Decade report, showing that Europe has made progress on its 2030 digital transformation targets, such as secure and sustainable digital infrastructures and the digitalisation of public services – but the challenge now is delivering results at scale, speed and consistency.
The report comes as the Commission published the last Special Eurobarometer, showing that an overwhelming majority of Europeans rank digital policy as a top EU priority, firmly backing a more autonomous European digital future.
The Digital Decade Policy Programme serves as the EU’s strategic compass for advancing and investing in Europe’s digital competitiveness and sovereignty. The report evaluates progress made by the EU in its digitalisation across the board, including in critical infrastructures, digitalisation of business, digital skills, and digitalisation of public services. This year, the report goes beyond stocktaking, outlining priority reforms and investments at EU and Member States level in an attempt to guide digital funding allocations in the next EU Multiannual Financial Framework.
Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, said:
With the Digital Decade policy programme, the foundations of the EU’s digital transformation are in place. We must continue on this path to achieve Europe’s technological sovereignty. We recently adopted measures to strengthen Europe’s capacity in semiconductors, AI, cloud and open source. This marks a pivotal moment and one we have to fully grasp to strengthen Europe’s autonomy and resilience.
