Innovation and consumer-centric insights on the EU's tech policy and its implications.
EU Commission’s plans for 2026: ➡️ 68 new laws + 153 pending proposals ➡️ “Buy European” public procurement ➡️ Digital Fairness Act ➡️ Pending: digital euro, digital service taxes, #chatcontrol ➡️ Coming: Digital Networks Act eutechloop.com/eu-commissions…
🔎 Our recap of the EU Data Strategy consultation: ▪️Europeans submit more unique feedback but are less active in public consultations ▪️#CEE is traditionally passive in providing responses ▪️25% of respondents said the #GDPR should be reviewed eutechloop.com/between-the-li…

Denmark has REMOVED chat control and client-side scanning from the EU Council agenda that was due to take place next week. For now, end-to-end encryption in Europe is safe from gov't intervention, but we must remain stalwart via @EUTechLoop eutechloop.com/chat-control-o…
Less than 60% of Europeans have basic digital skills Less than 30% have above-basic skills The EU has a plan and €24B to back it. To move the needle, follow high achievers: 🇳🇱 Netherlands 🇫🇮 Finland 🇪🇪 Estonia (plus 🇨🇿 Czechia & 🇭🇺 Hungary) eutechloop.com/digital-skills/

Developing Europeans’ digital skills: learning from the best
Fewer than 60% of Europeans have basic digital skills and fewer than 30% have above-basic skills, per the EU’s DESI. Future actions should anticipate needs, deliver strong user experience, prioritise...
Europeans are now used to major tech product launches arriving late: what debuts in the United States typically reaches the European Union 3 to 5 months later, and in some cases nearly a year: 👉eutechloop.com/europes-waitin…
The EU’s Digital Omnibus consultation is open until Oct 14, 2025, aiming to simplify data, AI, and cybersecurity compliance. But without tackling the GDPR reform, the pink elephant in the room remains. By @FredCyrusRoeder Read more: eutechloop.com/eu-consultatio…
