Commission seeks input for the review of the 2030 Digital Decade targets and objectives

The European Commission launched a call for evidence to examine whether the Digital Decade
objectives and targets for 2030 remain aligned with the rapidly evolving tech landscape since their
adoption in 2022. This call will help inform the Commission’s upcoming review, planned for 2026, of
the policy programme guiding Europe’s digital transformation.

At this midway point in the Digital Decade, which sets out concrete targets for the EU’s digitalisation
by 2030, the review will assess the relevance of the current 2030 objectives and targets ensuring it
remains effective, flexible, and resilient as the EU navigates its digital future. It will consider the
opportunities to speed up Europe’s digital transformation and to simplify digital legislation, as part of
the Commission’s wider simplification efforts.

The Digital Decade policy programme has mobilised over €288 billion of funding through national
roadmaps, which include more than 1,900 specific measures to advance the EU’s digital
transformation.

The review will explore ways to further align policy with funding opportunities in the context of the
next Multiannual Financial Framework. It will also evaluate how to improve engagement through
structured channels for regions, cities and local actors, which are critical for delivering the benefits of
digitalisation to citizens and small and medium-sized enterprises.

The call for evidence is open for views until 23 December 2025, included. The Commission is
organising an online workshop on 26 November on how to strengthen local and regional efforts to
drive innovation, test digital solutions and level the territorial disparities in digitalisation.
