Background

After the interview, a spokesman for DigitalEurope sent the following comment in an email: “The EU has invested around €35 billion in the past seven years in the digitalisation of Europe. ‘Digital’ is the only growth driver left and we now need to double the level of investment. Europe needs to strengthen and make the industry more competitive through digitalisation. It also needs to educate the workforce for the future jobs and to give the right to the youngsters to get a job in the digital era”.
