-
A successful digital transformation requires cybersecurity embedded into every part of the reality around us – and this cannot be done without the involvement of cities and regions, the most fundamental structures of modern states. -
Regional and interregional cooperation is essential to ensure that cities, states and regions can enhance their cybersecurity, technological development and greater economic competitiveness, and as a result – fully realise their potential.
-
Initiatives such as the Three Seas will enhance regional economic competitiveness, secure a stronger, resilient and more inclusive EU, and showcase that Europe can be a global leader in fostering value-driven innovations.
-
Cybersecurity and digital resilience of Europe depends on the digital resilience of its regions. A drive towards a more humancentric and value-driven digital transformation has to start there.
