Europe’s path to global tech leadership: Unlocking connectivity and innovation 

New technologies such as Cloud computing, AI, and quantum-based innovations are set to transform the global economy and society. These exciting breakthroughs open up a world of opportunity for European industry and citizens. But without advanced connectivity and mobile infrastructure in place to scale these technologies, Europe will be left behind.

To become a world class industrial and technology leader, the EU’s industrial policy, competitiveness, single market, and green agendas must prioritize expansive transformational connectivity, and develop an investment and innovation-first approach to regulation.  Central to this effort is reinforcing standardization and securing an Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) framework that incentivizes innovation by rewarding inventors and protecting their rights.
