AREAS OF COOPERATION IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Abstract

The European Union is a dynamic community of sovereign states that share and implement common strategies for the digital transformation of their industries. Germany, as the leader of digitalization in the EU and the author of the concept of Industry 4.0, is the first country to develop its national idea of a growing and innovative digital economy. Taking into account the common digital priorities, the European Union has formed a single concept - a model for digital transformation of the European economy. In this context, based on the main documents with a view to establish a digitalized Europe, the main areas for digital transformation in the European Union are revealed. They are a promising vision for both the digital future of Europe and for mutually beneficial and copious digital cooperation.
