Digital transformation: importance, benefits and EU policy
Learn how the EU is helping to shape a digital transformation in Europe to benefit people, companies and the environment.
The digital transformation is one of the EU's priorities. The European Parliament is helping to shape the policies that will strengthen Europe's capacities in new digital technologies, open new opportunities for businesses and consumers, support the EU's green transition and help it to reach climate neutrality by 2050, support people's digital skills and training for workers, and help digitalise public services, while ensuring the respect of basic rights and values.
In May 2021, Parliament adopted a report on shaping the digital future of Europe, calling on the European Commission to further tackle challenges posed by the digital transition and especially take advantage of the opportunities of the digital single market, improve the use of artificial intelligence and support digital innovation and skills.
