EU needs to change approach on risk/opportunity balance to foster potential of digital economy

At an EP hearing organised by the ECR group today, Jérôme Chauvin presented BUSINESSEUROPE’s priorities for the digital economy. He focused on the need for Europe to set up the appropriate framework to take advantage of the potential of big data and to stimulate investment in critical areas such as 5G networks. Policy-makers need to reconsider the risk/opportunity balance and encourage innovation in order to boost the digital economy.
