Digitalization, a high priority for Europe’s future, February 2020

The way technology is used has changed significantly in the past decade and continues to change at a rapid pace, disrupting the way people interact both within the private and the public sector. Advances in technology make possible achieving efficiencies by streamlining processes, open markets for new products and services, and help communities reach social goals. Data, both personal and non-personal, is at the core of these changes. The European Union strives to harness the power of data to drive innovation forth while observing European values and human rights.
