Digital Europe presses for EU, US tech unity
Industry group Digital Europe is urging the European Union and the United States to tighten coordination on key technologies, arguing that closer alignment is needed to protect sovereignty, territorial integrity and long-term economic stability.
Director-General Cecilia Bonefeld Dahl said the EU needs a stronger mandate and must stay united under external pressure to protect its interests. The association pointed to a declaration on AI and other critical technologies, signed by 70 European CEOs, that calls on the EU to work more closely with member states to unlock investment in industrial digitalisation. Digital Europe wants principles on national borders and sovereignty to sit at the core of transatlantic trade, which it says already underpins digital and industrial value chains in semiconductors, cloud, cybersecurity and connectivity on both sides of the Atlantic.
