The EU-Brazil Digital Dialogue aims to harness the potential of digital technologies to foster an inclusive digital transformation, sustainable growth and promote innovation. In a context of a rapidly evolving digital world, the partners also aim to address the challenges linked to this fast evolution. The partners share the same values of democracy, human rights and sustainable development.
The Digital dialogue is a cornerstone of the EU-Brazil strategic partnership established in 2007, which fosters deeper cooperation across a wide range of political, economic, and social issues.
At the occasion of the Digital dialogue, the EU and Brazil agreed to cooperate on connectivity projects, particularly in under-served regions of Brazil, continue their common work on 5G and 6G technologies and support enhanced cooperation between High Performance Computing centres in Brazil and the EU. Moreover, both partners also aim to foster exchange of information on semiconductors supply chains, work on the technical interoperability of digital signature systems, continue the dialogue on data protection and international data flows and exchange best practices and promote cooperation on the regulatory frameworks for data, artificial intelligence and platforms. They will continue to cooperate in international fora based on their shared values.
The Digital dialogue was co-chaired by Renate Nikolay, Deputy Director-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology at the European Commission and Ambassador Laudemar Goçalves de Aguiar Neto, Secretary of Trade Promotion, Science, Technology, Innovation and Culture of Brazil.
The European Union and Brazil issued a joint communiqué.
The next Digital Dialogue is planned for 2025.
