Digital transformation is an important driver of sustainable development and offers great potential to amplify social and economic benefits across a large number of sectors. However, current rates of digitalisation are very unequal: more than 3 billion people are not digitally connected, including many women. In line with the Sustainable Development Goals, digitalisation can foster better education, reduce inequalities, boost economic growth, research and innovation and support better governance.
A more digitalised society requires the promotion of sustainability and the building of a global, open, stable and secure cyberspace, grounded in the rule of law, human rights and democratic values that leaves no-one behind. Today, the digital transformation is driven largely by data and is a key factor for global competitiveness, with great potential for generating economic growth and development and innovative solutions.
Digital transformation is bringing fast change that affects our labour markets. With the Communications on Shaping Europe’s digital future and the 2030 Digital Compass Decade, the EU has put forward a human-centric approach to digital transformation.
