CEE’s digital industry lists priorities for EU digital agenda

Promoting cross-sectoral digital integration, strengthening cybersecurity and trust, boosting investment in digital skills and education, fostering innovation and digital services, promoting a conducive regulatory environment, ensuring sustainability and finally, promoting competitiveness and global partnerships - these are the key elements of a forward-looking vision for the incoming European Commission and European Parliament, articulated by CEE Digital Coalition, an informal gathering of digital industry organizations from 11 Central Eastern European (CEE) countries in their latest statement addressed to national and EU officials.

Fourteen digital industry national trade associations from Central Eastern Europe, cooperating under the banner of CEE Digital Coalition, published a statement, covering a list of core priorities for digital advancement addressed at the new European administration.

According to signatories of the document, the blueprint presented is an expression of their unwavering dedication to driving digital transformation across the European Union, focusing on ensuring that the CEE region leads in innovation, competitiveness, and economic vitality.

The statement was published just days after the Three Seas Summit and Business Forum in Vilnius, Latvia, where political and business leaders gathered to discuss the region’s development. It also corresponds to the upcoming elections for the European Parliament.
