Digitalisation is high on the EU policy agenda, with 2 flagship programmes: the Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
However, progress in digitalisation still remains uneven across the EU. Many rural and remoter communities are actively seeking new opportunities in digital services to drive economic growth, but face difficulties due to inadequate infrastructure and skills.
This webinar aims to contribute to the debate on how to make DMA and DSA ‘fit for purpose’ and, thus, feed into the legislative process currently underway by the European Parliament and the Council of the EU. At the same time, it will open a wider debate on the EU initiatives still needed to help diffuse the potential of digital services for European businesses and citizens making them genuine leverages of sustainable development throughout our continent.
