This annual strategic workshop brings together leading experts and policymakers to provide concrete input to the 2026 State of the Digital Decade Report (SDD26) and the ongoing review of the Digital Decade Policy Programme (DDPP).

The workshop will focus on the Commission’s priorities of digital competitiveness and digital sovereignty, and will link the Digital Decade review with reflections on the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF).

This online event aims to 

• Inform the preparation of the State of the Digital Decade Report 2026, by identifying key technological trends, challenges and priority recommendations
• Stress-test the interim findings of the Digital Decade Review
• Discuss implications for future funding, reforms and investment priorities in support of EU competitiveness and sovereignty

More information on the event, its agenda and the link to join the event can be found on the event website.

This event can be of interest for stakeholders who would like to get a better overview on EU digital policies, both on potential future developments, but also to be able to convincingly link project proposals to EU policy priorities.
