ITI Urges EU Commission to Relaunch Tech Competitiveness in First 100 Days
BRUSSELS – Today, as the new European Commission enters into office, global tech trade association ITI, the Information Technology Industry Council, congratulates President Von der Leyen for assembling a robust team of European leaders with one overarching goal: boosting European competitiveness.
“Europe can and must become globally competitive by adopting pro-innovation policies,” said ITI President and CEO Jason Oxman. “In this new Commission, the global tech industry sees leaders committed to the vision of an innovative, competitive, and open Europe. We are excited to work with President Von der Leyen and her team to make this a reality.”
To deliver on its promises, the new College of Commissioners must provide a spark in the first 100 days to set the tone for the rest of the mandate. This task is as difficult as it is crucial, and it will heavily depend on the framework of the Competitiveness Compass announced by President von der Leyen.
ITI set out our Vision 2030, a comprehensive policy guide that outlines strategic recommendations for the European Union leading up to 2030 and offers a playbook for EU policymakers to continue driving technology policy worldwide, transition to an innovative digital economy, and strengthen open trade.
