Technology that works for people, new European Union Digital Strategy

"Today, we are presenting our ambition to shape Europe's digital future. It covers everything from cybersecurity to critical infrastructures, digital education to skills, and democracy to media. I want that digital Europe reflects the best of Europe – open, fair, diverse, democratic, and confident," says Ursula von der Leyen, President of the Commission. Ursula von der Leyen says that Europe needs to step up its efforts to create a truly digital economy and to make better use of the massive amount of data being collected. She argued that in five years, Europe alone would generate the same amount of data that is today collected worldwide.
