This is why, in our Manifesto, we are proposing that the European Parliament create new regulations aimed at forcing manufacturers to publish and reduce their ecological footprint. Giving priority to reducing the environmental impact of digital technologies right from the manufacturing stage is a crucial first step towards achieving a sustainable digital future. This proposal is in line with legislative efforts at European Union level. However, these measures are still insufficient to fully meet the environmental challenges we face. It's time to go further by imposing stricter standards and requiring manufacturers to actively reduce their carbon footprint, minimise electronic waste and adopt more sustainable production practices, all in full transparency.   Read our complete Manifesto 2024 in our news acticle: https://lnkd.in/eQCMy3xZ   #digital #IA #Tech #Talent #cyber #competitiveness #tomorrowdigitalworld #EUElections2024 #EP2024 #DigitalPerspectives #DigitalVigilance Ronald Verbeek Martijn Koning Ankie Tooten

Europe is currently facing a shortage of digital experts capable of developing cutting-edge technologies for the benefit of all citizens. To bridge this gap, programmes and initiatives are needed to encourage the training and #development of #digitaltalent. This is why CIO Platform Nederland, Beltug, Cigref, and VOICE - Bundesverband der IT-Anwender e.V. propose in their Manifesto to resume or continue European work on the formalisation of digital talent. By investing in digital talent, we are shaping a prosperous future for Europe, where innovation and economic growth go hand in hand with inclusion and #well-being for all citizens.

It contains the essential requirements European politicians must take into account to make and keep the EU digitally competitive in a global context.

Intensify EU strategic research to strengthen its competitiveness! 💪 #EUElections2024 In their Manifesto, Cigref, Beltug, CIO Platform Nederland and VOICE - Bundesverband der IT-Anwender e.V. point out that it is crucial to step up the EU's strategic research initiatives to explore alternatives to current digital technologies. For example, the Quantum Technologies Flagship, launched in 2018, is a large-scale, long-term research initiative with an EU-funded budget of €1 billion, bringing together research institutions developing European scientific leadership and excellence in this field. Targeted research and innovation efforts are essential to strengthen the EU's position in relation to its global competitors. By promoting European competition, innovation and economic growth will be stimulated. This approach also aims to reduce our dependence on certain suppliers and ensure the long-term prosperity of our continent. Together, let's step up our efforts to diversify our technological sources and promote an innovative and competitive digital Europe on the world stage!   Read our complete Manifesto 2024 in our news acticle: https://lnkd.in/eQCMy3xZ   #digital #IA #Tech #Talent #cyber #competitiveness #tomorrowdigitalworld #EUElections2024 #EP2024 #DigitalPerspectives #DigitalDiligence Ronald Verbeek Martijn Koning Ankie Tooten

𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀!🛡️ #EUElections2024 The European Union also wants to protect itself and reduce its dependence, while remaining an open continent. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, spoke of the need for tighter controls on foreign investment within the EU and on exports of sensitive goods outside its borders, to prevent its sensitive technologies and critical infrastructures from falling into the wrong hands. The Commission is also pushing for "a minimum sectoral scope", which could cover artificial intelligence, the most sophisticated semiconductors, biotech and quantum computing. For our associations, Cigref, Beltug, VOICE - Bundesverband der IT-Anwender e.V. and CIO Platform Nederland, these initiatives are a step in the right direction, which is why we are proposing in our joint Manifesto for the European elections that a system be put in place to prevent the acquisition of strategic European digital companies by foreign funds.   Read our complete Manifesto 2024 in our news acticle: https://lnkd.in/eQCMy3xZ   #digital #IA #Tech #Talent #cyber #competitiveness #tomorrowdigitalworld #EUElections2024 #EP2024 #DigitalPerspectives #DigitalDiligence Ronald Verbeek Ankie Tooten Martijn Koning

Prepare strategically and sustainably for Europe's energy and digital transition! #EUElections2024 With the growing use of digital technologies in almost all organisations, the sector's need for rare metals is exponential, even though they are already in great demand in other industries (automotive, electronics, manufacturing, etc.). Rare metal supply problems highlight geopolitical issues. Indeed, 60% of the world's known rare earth reserves are in China, and the European Union is supplied with 98% of its rare earths by this country. Finally, our companies face a major challenge: certain raw materials are either threatened with extinction in the next 100 years, or are already very limited and present a risk in terms of supply, such as magnesium or lithium. This is why Cigref, Beltug, VOICE - Bundesverband der IT-Anwender e.V. and CIO Platform Nederland propose in their Manifesto to set up an Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) for critical raw materials, in order to prepare strategically and sustainably for Europe's energy and digital transitions. Let's ensure that European companies are ready for the future and able to face global competition, in particular by ensuring the EU's ecological transition, by strengthening local production of batteries, solar panels, permanent magnets and other clean technologies.

New Post: SDG Digital Unlocks Commitments to Leverage Innovation and Emerging Technologies - https://lnkd.in/eyGQDCTc Digital Unlocks Commitments to Leverage Innovation and Emerging Technologieshttps://lnkd.in/euCjH8Wi York, USA// – Leading global voices representing diverse sectors of society gathered at SDG Digital: “A Digital Future for All” at United Nations Headquarters today. They showcased digital solutions and announced new commitments to realize a brighter digital future. SDGs New York, USA// - Leading global voices representing diverse sectors of society gathered at SDG Digital: “A Digital Future for All” at United Nations Headquarters today. They showcased digital solutions and announced new commitments to realize a brighter digital future.   Organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the UN Development Programme (UNDP), SDG Digital is a cornerstone of ongoing efforts to leverage digital innovation for achieving the SDGs. "We created SDG Digital to show the world the power of digital," said ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin. “The commitments and solutions on display during the digital track of the UN Summit of the Future Action Days send a powerful message to the world that we will do what’s necessary to rescue the SDGs and build a better digital future for all, now and for generations to come.” At SDG Digital, the programme’s Advisory Group, with members from government, industry and United Nations agencies, highlighted 17 game-changing digital solutions demonstrating how a more sustainable, inclusive, and responsible future – the vision of a “A Digital Future for All” – can be achieved. A global survey conducted as part of SDG Digital to expand the conversation beyond the United Nations event reinforced the importance of digital technologies to ensure a sustainable future. Renewed commitments to build safe and inclusive digital public infrastructure At SDG Digital, Brazil and Malawi announced commitments to adopt universal digital public infrastructure (DPI) safeguards to build safe and inclusive digital foundations. The commitments emphasize the importance of embedding safeguards to protect both individuals and the environment as countries design and implement DPI at scale. “Digital public infrastructure is transforming the delivery of services to people all the way to the last mile,” said Achim Steiner, UNDP Administrator. “As more countries design and implement these digital foundations, we must commit to the universal adoption of digital safeguards to build safe and inclusive digital public infrastructure that benefits all.” Digital public infrastructure is the backbone of modern digital interactions, encompassing digital identity platforms,
