The Digital Agenda for Europe is the European Union’s road map for bringing the benefits of a digital society and economy to Europe’s citizens. But it can only deliver if all stakeholders are involved in assessing problems and identifying solutions.

That’s why the Commission is holding its first Digital Agenda Assembly in June. 

We hope to see a broad range of participants from industry, the research community and NGOs, as well as representatives from Member State governments, and the other EU institutions so we can together assess progress in meeting the targets of the Digital Agenda.

Pre-registration should open soon here.
