Digital Decade in 2025: Progress and outlook

The report complements the Communication from the Commission ‘State of Digital Decade 2025: Keep building the EU’s sovereignty and digital future’ and its Annex 1. 

It follows the four-chapter structure focusing on: 

• Technological sovereignty, security, and competitiveness 
• Protecting and empowering people
• Harnessing digitalisation for the green transition
• A horizontal chapter on building coherence, efficiency and simplification  

The analysis provides an overview of the state of play and identifies key strengths as well as gaps and shortages. It relies on the monitoring conducted through the Digital Economic and Society Index (DESI), as well as relevant studies, expert analysis, and the national Digital Decade strategic roadmaps submitted by EU countries.
