(19 February 2020) – Today, the Commission unveils its ideas and actions for “a digital transformation that works for all, reflecting the best of Europe: open, fair, diverse, democratic and confident.”
It presents a European society powered by digital solutions “that put people first, opens up new opportunities for businesses, and boosts the development of trustworthy technology to foster an open and democratic society and a vibrant and sustainable economy.”
