EU may fall behind Digital Decade goals, report warns
Last year the European Commission presented a 2030 vision that aims to transform the region with 80% of the population acquiring basic digital skills, 5G connectivity everywhere, full online public services and 75% of EU companies using cloud services. However, at the current rate of progress, it would take until 2040 for meet all the targets, according to the report, which was commissioned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and will be released later on Thursday. The EU is on track to unlock 1.3 trillion euros ($1.36 trillion)in economic value by 2030, but if the progress is accelerated, up to further 1.5 trillion euros in additional benefits could be generated by the end of this decade, the report said.
