European Commission - DG Connect

The European Commission is the EU body responsible for proposing, implementing, and enforcing EU legislation in different fields. Its department that deals with digital and tech, called DG Connect (Directorate-General for Communication Networks, Content and Technologies), develops and implements the policies that make Europe fit for the digital age. At Connect, we help ensure European leadership and independence in critical digital technologies (such as Artificial Intelligence, Common Data Spaces, high-performance computing and quantum). We foster an internal market in which businesses can invest in digital technologies, products, services, and compete on a level playing field. We equally promote the EU’s human-centric model of an innovative, fair and sustainable digital transformation of society which respects our democratic values, our fundamental rights and cultural diversity. We help bridge the digital divide by supporting digital literacy and skills of EU citizens.
