The European Commission and the EU High Representative have unveiled a joint vision for the European Union’s external digital engagement – the EU International Digital Strategy.
At a time when the digital revolution is fundamentally transforming societies and economies, and the global geopolitical landscape is becoming increasingly complex, the EU aims to position itself as a stable and reliable partner, open to digital cooperation with allies and other partners.
The strategy highlights the EU’s commitment to shaping a global digital order based on rules and values such as democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. In addition to strengthening its own competitiveness in artificial intelligence and other key technologies, the EU will actively support the digital transition of its partner countries.
Key goals of the strategy include expanding international partnerships, establishing a new Digital Partnership Network, enhancing collaboration with the private sector through the EU Tech Business Offer, and supporting investments in areas such as secure connectivity, digital public infrastructure, cybersecurity, and AI.
The strategy sends a clear message: the EU is committed to a digital world that is safe, fair, and beneficial for all.
