DIGITALEUROPE

🇪🇺🇯🇵 Strengthening EU-Japan tech cooperation. Yesterday, our team met with representatives from JEITA and JBCE to discuss TECH7, its follow-up and areas for future collaboration. We also exchanged views on #AI, skills and research with a Japanese delegation led by Professor Yutaka Matsuo from the University of Tokyo.

@BonefeldCecilia @UnaFitzpatrick0 @vrailas @DStanderski @ThibKLNR @MarinaKaljurand @mkgonullu @EnricoLetta @Qualcomm @SchneiderElec @kalafatis_st That's a wrap👏 A day of discussions on digital sovereignty, competitiveness, AI, data, infrastructure and transatlantic cooperation. Thank you to all speakers, partners and participants for joining us at #DESummerSummit. See you next year!

@BonefeldCecilia @UnaFitzpatrick0 @vrailas @DStanderski @ThibKLNR @MarinaKaljurand @mkgonullu @EnricoLetta Europe's #AI ambitions depend on something very tangible: Energy, chips and data centres. The conversation today made one thing clear: Competitiveness, sustainability and digital sovereignty must move forward together. #DESummerSummit

🚀 #DESummerSummit has begun. Today, policymakers, industry leaders and international partners come together to discuss one big question: How can Europe strengthen its digital sovereignty while remaining globally competitive? Follow this threat for live updates!

DIGITALEUROPE strongly welcomes the G7 agreement to deepen support for Ukraine. The nation's leadership in digital innovation is unparalleled, setting the gold standard for democracies globally. Strong, united backing from G7 members across Europe, North America, and Asia sends an important signal. Read more about it here: diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/presse-et-r…

USG restrictions on the export of certain AI technologies: Security and innovation must go hand in hand. Clear, predictable and transparent rules are essential. Sudden restrictions risk creating uncertainty that undermines trust, investment, and competitiveness. Trusted transatlantic technology flows remain vital to innovation, security and shared prosperity. Transatlantic unity on technologies will define who leads the world order: EU leads on some technologies, US on others, only together we can win the global tech race.

If data powers Europe’s digital economy, why assume every new access point is “innovation”? In a world of constant cyber threats, @DIGITALEUROPE argue that some access routes could be new weaknesses waiting to be exploited. Partner content

Should Europe mandate industrial data sharing across the board? A voluntary-by-default model, guided by sector rules, better reflects real demand, cyber risk and trade-secret protection, stress @DIGITALEUROPE. Partner content

At a time when hostile actors are actively probing systems, @DIGITALEUROPE warn that EU rules should not push companies to create new technical interfaces into sensitive operational data-doors that are attractive to hackers. Partner content

DIGITALEUROPE welcomes today’s European Parliament vote on the Turnberry Deal. While not perfect, the deal provides the stability and predictability that businesses on both sides of the Atlantic need. It is an important step forward. We also call for the launch of an EU–US Digital Dialogue as a Digital Dialogue platform for closer cooperation on a broad range of digital and technology issues.

DIGITALEUROPE welcomes the 11th 🇪🇺-🇰🇷 Summit and the signing of the EU-Korea Digital trade Agreement as a key opportunity to deepen cooperation with the Republic of Korea. 💡Stronger collaboration on AI, semiconductors, cybersecurity and dual-use technologies can boost competitiveness, resilience and security on both sides. Together with the European Chamber of Commerce in Korea, we support a closer, more ambitious and future-oriented EU-Korea digital agenda.

🇪🇺🇺🇸 DIGITALEUROPE welcomes voluntary, risk-based cooperation between governments, AI developers and critical infrastructure operators to better understand and mitigate the potential cybersecurity risks of the most advanced AI systems. Such cooperation should strengthen resilience and trust while preserving innovation, protecting sensitive commercial information and IP. 🤝 We encourage close EU-U.S. coordination so that emerging approaches are interoperable, proportionate and open to trusted partners.

🇪🇺🇲🇽 We welcome the signing of the EU-Mexico Modernised Global Agreement, an important milestone for strengthening EU-Mexico trade, investment and cooperation. Its digital trade chapter is a positive step towards supporting trusted digital trade, innovation and closer cooperation between the EU and Mexico. At a time of geopolitical uncertainty, closer partnerships with like-minded partners are more important than ever.
