Finding a Framework for the Future: Making Telecommunications a Strategic Industry 

Our fireside discussion examined the paradigm shifts required to move Europe towards the next digital frontier and global competitiveness.

The exchange focused on how to:

• Ensure that Europe truly benefits from transformative digital technologies
• Support private investment and innovation in digital network infrastructure
• Tackle the alarmingly low level of digital skills in Europe and encourage a digital mindset across Member States
