Building on more than two decades of close collaboration, the partnership will strengthen EU-Brazil cooperation on shared digital priorities, including data governance, artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure and connectivity, online platforms, and digital public goods and services.
Digital Partnerships are a core instrument of the EU's external digital policy, enabling structured cooperation with like-minded countries on shared priorities.
The agreement will be signed by European Commission Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, Henna Virkkunen, and Brazil's Secretary for Trade Promotion, Science, Technology, Innovation and Culture, Alex Giacomelli da Silva.
Following the signing of the Digital Partnership, an administrative agreement will be signed by the Commission's services and Brazil's Agência Nacional de Proteção de Dados, to enhance cooperation on the protection of minors online.
Through this partnership, the EU and Brazil will step up joint efforts to promote efficient and resilient global supply chains and contribute to an inclusive, rules-based system of global digital governance. They will aim to ensure that the benefits of technological progress are more equitably shared globally.
