EuroISPA publishes its Vision for the EU mandate 2024-2029

EuroISPA is excited to publish its Vision for the 2024–2029 EU Mandate, a strategic document that outlines a clear, actionable roadmap to strengthen Europe’s digital resilience, competitiveness and innovation.

In a time of rapid technological evolution and increasing global competition, Europe must pivot from being a “regulatory hyperscaler” to a continent that fosters investment, entrepreneurship and forward-looking policymaking. Our Vision identifies six key strategic priorities:

  1. Completing the Digital Single Market to reduce fragmentation and scale innovation.
  2. Simplifying regulation to empower disruption and reduce compliance burdens, especially for SMEs.
  3. Building secure and resilient digital infrastructure that supports technologies like AI and quantum computing.
  4. Defending European rights and democratic values, including strong privacy and encryption protections.
  5. Maintaining openness to global cooperation while safeguarding strategic autonomy.
  6. Advancing the green transition through smart digital sustainability and energy efficiency.

EuroISPA and its members remain committed to working closely with EU institutions and stakeholders to help shape a digital Europe that is open, competitive and aligned with core democratic principles.
