The European Commission works with international partners to coordinate our approach to digital issues and promote our shared values in the digital transition.
Technology has the potential to improve lives everywhere. It is also shaping the future of humanity all over the world. The EU puts Europeans at the heart of its transformation and now works with like-minded partners sharing democratic values around the world to support economic growth and a fair digital transformation that puts people at the centre beyond the EU borders. The EU also works with developing countries to close the digital divide, and with all countries in multilateral fora to improve lives everywhere.
