Connectivity & infrastructure

DIGITALEUROPE aims to contribute to the creation of the right framework for Europe’s evolution to a gigabit society, from very high-capacity networks to 5G.

Connectivity is fast becoming the essential part of the modern economy. 5G, for instance, is a turning-point technology that cloud deliver socio-economic benefits worth more than €110 billion every year and create 2.3 million jobs. Unfortunately, a high-quality digital infrastructure is often taken for granted or outdated.

At DIGITALEUROPE we aim to stimulate the uptake of cutting-edge digital infrastructure in Europe, with forward-looking and evidence-based policy on:

Investment in gigabit networks, ensuring the best connectivity is available anywhere in Europe
Spectrum harmonisation and availability to allow Europe to lead the next-generation wireless connectivity
Services and innovation, bringing the latest communication and digital transformation tools to EU consumers and businesses
