20 Mar The State of Digital Transformation in the UK and EU
Digitalization is at the core of economic growth and innovation in both the UK and the EU. Governments and businesses are investing heavily in IT infrastructure, cloud computing, and AI to streamline operations and enhance customer experiences.
In the EU, initiatives like the Digital Europe Programme and the EU AI Act are shaping a more connected and regulated digital market. The focus is on cybersecurity, data protection (GDPR), and cross-border digital services to create a unified digital economy.
In the UK, post-Brexit policies emphasize digital independence, with investment in AI, fintech, and e-commerce. The UK is also fostering innovation through its National AI Strategy, aiming to lead in artificial intelligence and automation.
Despite progress, challenges remain—data sovereignty, regulatory fragmentation, and digital skills gaps need to be addressed. Companies that embrace digital transformation early will gain a competitive edge in this evolving landscape.
