Digital 2021: Leading the digital decade
As a result of the pandemic, the world has become a lot more digital
in a short period of time. To keep society going, transforming our way
of working and living had to become almost entirely digital. However,
not everyone has equal access to digital technologies. 

In recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, stakeholders are wondering
what the future of digital in Europe will look like, what the 2030
goals should be when thinking about digital transformation, and what
the road is towards meeting those goals. At the two-day online event
Digital 2021: Leading the Digital Decade
[https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/leading-digital-decade],
the European Commission and the Portuguese Presidency of the Council
of the European Union [https://www.2021portugal.eu/en/] will lead the
way in discussing these questions. Its vision is simple: everyone in
Europe can and should benefit from digital.

On day one, the focus will be on the Communication “2030 Digital
Compass: the European way for the Digital Decade
[https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/priorities-2019-2024/europe-fit-digital-age/europes-digital-decade-digital-targets-2030_en]”.
The second day will be devoted to the launch of the first financial
instrument of the EU for European projects on digital, the Digital
Europe Programme [https://leading-the-digital-decade.eu/].
