BSA and its members greatly value the efforts of the European Union to stimulate the roll-out of connectivity, as outlined in the Digital Decade 2030 targets. We acknowledge the significant efforts made by many European regions to achieve these goals. However, the targets in the Digital Decade 2030 go beyond the topic of connectivity; they include a whole range of digital goals, including skills, quantum, digitization of the public sector as well as the adoption of cloud, AI and big data.
