Digital cooperation has become a top priority for EU international partnerships in recent years. Since the launch of the Digital for Development (D4D) Hub in December 2020, the EU is working together with its Member States to boost joint investments, foster multi-stakeholder collaboration, and actively promote a human-centric digital transformation worldwide. This session will explore the links between digital transformation and international development and how the EU is approaching this topic. 

Subtopics:

• The importance of EU digital cooperation in the current geopolitical context.
• The EU offer on digital for its international partners.
• History of the D4D Hub and how it responds to the need to boost EU digital cooperation.
