👓This Month's Thematic Dossier: Five Key Achievements in EU Digital Policy 2019-2024 in Data and the Digital Economy

Bonjour ☕

Operating in Europe now means navigating one of the world’s most ambitious digital rulebooks. From platform accountability to data sharing and media pluralism, EU digital policy between 2019 and 2024 has reshaped how organisations build, buy, and operate technology.

Digital compliance is now a strategic capability. As digital services and data flows scale, businesses face rising obligations and uneven local implementation. The direction of travel is clear, however: the EU’s Digital Decade targets prioritise skills, secure infrastructure, business digitalisation and rights‑respecting public services. Leaders can plan with confidence.

This guide deciphers five cornerstone laws shaping data and the digital economy:

• Digital Services Act (DSA): platform accountability, risk management and transparency

• Digital Markets Act (DMA): fair competition and gatekeeper obligations

• Data Act: data access, B2B/B2G sharing, and cloud switching interoperability

• Data Governance Act (DGA): trusted data intermediaries and data altruism

• European Media Freedom Act (EMFA): media pluralism and editorial independence

What you’ll get:

• Background and scope for each act

• Strategic implications for EU/EEA operations

• Practical actions and quick wins to turn compliance into advantage
