Laws For A Digital Future

Not only is digital transformation changing business processes and operations, but legislative reform at EU level is also being heavily influenced by the rapid changes in our digital environment.

The European Commission ("EC") proposed the Digital Decade in March 2021 which envisages the digital transformation of Europe by 2030. Four main targets of the digital decade were identified: skills; the digital transformation of businesses; secure and sustainable digital infrastructures; and the digitisation of public services. The digital ambitions of the EU are to be achieved at EU and national level, by way of a joint governance framework and multi-country projects that combine EU, Member State and private sector investments. Potential areas of partnership that have been identified include 6G, quantum computing and the use of technology to combat climate change.
