Europe will only achieve digital leadership by building it on secure and performant sustainable digital infrastructures for connectivity, microelectronics and data processing. A strong foundation for digital technology will enable innovation and support our industry's competitive edge. Significant investments need to be made in all of these areas that require coordination to achieve European scale. As part of the Digital Compass, it is our proposed level of ambition that by 2030:
- All EU households have gigabit connectivity
- All populated areas are covered by 5G
- The production of cutting-edge and sustainable semiconductors in Europe is 20% of world production in value
- 10,000 climate neutral highly secure edge nodes are deployed in the EU
- Europe is at the cutting edge of quantum capabilities
