State of the Digital Decade 2026 - Closing structural gaps and mobilising investments for 2030 and beyond

and mobilising investments for 2030 and beyond dumimar Wed, 06/17/2026 - 09:15 The State of the Digital Decade 2026 report assesses the EU’s progress toward the 2030 Digital Decade targets. The 2026 report highlights that, while the foundations of the EU’s digital transformation are in place, the scale, speed and coordination of implementation need to be significantly reinforced. The EU has advanced in several areas, including connectivity, business digitalisation and the deployment of common digital infrastructures. However, significant gaps remain in foundational technologies, computing capacity, cybersecurity, advanced digital take-up, digital skills and scale-up capacity. Moreover, the progressive phase-put of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) creates a risk of investment discontinuity. The 2026 State of the Digital Decade report thus calls on Member States to use the next adjustment of their Digital Decade national roadmaps (December 2026) to address existing gaps through concrete measures and reforms, while ensuring stronger alignment with the next Multi-Annual Financial Framework (MFF) and the future EU Competitiveness Fund. The report also stresses the need for deeper EU-level coordination. On this page, you can find the report’s main communication and Annex 1, together with the short versions of the 27 country reports.
