European Union Digital Economy policy - December 2024 The EU is committed to using digital technology to improve quality of life, promote business innovation, and grow a competitive digital economy, aligned with its goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. It seeks to lead the global digital transformation, set its own standards, and ensure a sustainable digital future. Although the Treaties do not include specific provisions for information and communication technologies (ICTs), the EU can take action in related policy areas under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). These areas include industry, competition, trade, trans-European networks, research, energy, the establishment of the single market, free movement of goods, people, and services, as well as education and culture. Policy evolution & milestones 2 The first Digital Agenda for Europe (2010-2020) The program achieved key milestones in connectivity, consumer protection, and digital innovation. It reduced communication costs, eliminated roaming charges in 2017, and ensured comprehensive broadband access. Consumer rights were strengthened through robust privacy and data protection laws, while rules on geo-blocking and service portability enabled EU-wide access to online content. The agenda also promoted digital growth by advancing AI, high-performance computing, and public service modernisation. Key regulations, such as the Cybersecurity Act and the Open Data Directive, supported a data-driven economy and enhanced cybersecurity across the EU. The second Digital Agenda for Europe (2020-2030) The program focuses on adapting to rapid technological changes while advancing the EU’s geopolitical and technological goals. It prioritises quantum computing, AI, blockchain, semiconductors (European Chips Act), digital sovereignty, cybersecurity, 5G/6G, and global tech standards. The NIS Directive, the EU’s first cybersecurity law, was introduced in 2016 to enhance network and information system security across Member States. © EU Training | All rights reserved.
