Europe's vulnerabilities have been exposed by both the war in Ukraine and the pandemic. The European Union must be more innovative, competitive and sustainable in order to adapt to new challenges and offer all citizens and businesses opportunities to prosper. The European Union is ideally placed to be a leader in the field of new technologies and their use for the benefit of citizens and businesses. Digitalisation is the key to a sustainable, free, secure and successful Europe, this requires the implementation of a range of legislation that better integrates digital markets, creates a European digital identity, and increases cyber resilience in an ever-changing threat environment. However, this is only the beginning of a long and arduous journey. Europe must therefore invest in human resources to make it easier for young and older Europeans to work, to learn, and to find jobs. We need to take action to increase mobility, to do business and to acquire new skills.
