Supporting Europe's businesses means working alongside organisations that share our vision. That's why we are proud of our long-standing collaboration with the @EU_IPO and are pleased to support their 2026 Campaign, which highlights the vital role that design plays in strengthening Europe's competitiveness. From driving innovation and economic growth to expanding consumer choice, great design creates real value. It also shines a light on the impact of design infringement and the consequences it has for businesses, creators, and the wider economy. For SMEs in particular, design can be a powerful competitive advantage: ✔️21% of consumers say design is the primary factor influencing their purchasing decisions, with younger consumers placing even greater value on visual appeal. ✔️ Companies that protect their intellectual property generate, on average, 44% higher revenue per employee. Protecting your designs isn't just about safeguarding creativity, it's about strengthening your brand, enhancing your reputation, and securing long-term business success.

A secure and resilient internet cannot be built in isolation. At @eurodig 2026, one message stood out clearly: partnership is at the heart of the Internet. From global to regional and national levels, the multi-stakeholder model has shown, over the past 20 years, what collaboration can achieve. Whether advancing internet governance, strengthening trust, or enabling the implementation of internationalised domain names to build a more inclusive online space, progress depends on bringing together diverse expertise and communities. "Let’s not lose sight of what we can achieve together, and what we stand to lose apart." - Peter Janssen, General Manager at EURid. .eu is the trusted European home online, built with and for its community. We are grateful for the insights shared by Gemma Carolillo, Deputy Head of Future Internet Unit at @eucommission, Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Global Domains & Strategy at @ICANN, and Xianhong Hu, Programme Specialist, Division for Digital Inclusion and Policies and Digital Transformation at @UNESCO. 🎥 Discover more in the video below, produced by Video Agency TURBO. #EURid #doteu #EuroDIG2026
