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.

This call is part of the Manifesto "A perspective on the digital world of tomorrow", the European IT user associations (CIO Platform Nederland, Beltug, Cigref, and VOICE) are presenting for the upcoming EU Elections. It contains the essential requirements European politicians must take into account to make and keep the EU digitally competitive in a global context.
