Setting Europe's Digital Agenda

The Digital Agenda is the EU's strategy to help digital technologies, including the internet, to deliver sustainable economic growth... More about the DAE

National leaders from across the EU met on 24 October to discuss the role of digital innovation in our economy.
They endorsed the Commission's proposals for a telecoms single market and also called for action to complete the digital single market by 2015.
Some of Europe's top tech entrepreneurs and startup community pioneers have met EU leaders to present their manifesto on how Europe needs to adapt for the digital age.
There are many creative ways of making the point about the role digital networks play in today's economy. For David Puttnam, film-maker and also Ireland's Digital Champion, the situation today reminded him of a different, related topic people were discussing around 60 years ago.
Francesco Lollini is 19 years old and just finished high school. He collaborates with the research team from Bologna that runs the TOBI project (TOols for Brain computer Interaction). With the input of potential users such as Francesco, this project aims to develop practical technology for brain-computer interaction (BCI) that will improve the quality of life of disabled people and the effectiveness of rehabilitation.
