Thierry Breton: Connecting Europe with the next Digital Decade

During the pandemic, we all turned – to some extent – to digital. Confinement boosted teleconsultations. Businesses found new ways to collaborate with employees and reach customers. Teachers explored platforms to engage with their scattered classrooms. Through our screens, we shared laughs and extended comfort.
Network connectivity is the foundation of the digital landscape. 20% of NextGenerationEU, the EU’s recovery package, should be in invested in digital. It keeps us together. We need to strengthen that foundation today, for the upcoming Digital Decade.
