The European Digital Strategy
Technology that works for people
Development, deployment and uptake of technology that makes a real difference to people’s daily lives. A strong and competitive economy that masters and shapes technology in a way that respects European values.
A fair and competitive digital economy
A frictionless single market, where companies of all sizes and in any sector can compete on equal terms, and can develop, market and use digital technologies, products and services at a scale that boosts their productivity and global competitiveness, and consumers can be confident that their rights are respected.
An open, democratic and sustainable digital society
A trustworthy environment in which citizens are empowered in how they act and interact, and of the data they provide both online and offline. A European way to digital transformation which enhances our democratic values, respects our fundamental rights, and contributes to a sustainable, climate-neutral and resource-efficient economy.
Europe as a global digital player
The EU is committed to setting global standards for emerging technologies and will remain the most open region for trade and investment in the world, provided that anyone who comes to do business here accepts and respects our rules.
