This seminar will explore policies to implement the European Union’s Digital Single Market strategy at the regional and national levels. With digitalization increasingly affecting business activity and daily life, it is crucial to set up an effective mechanism of governance and policy coordination. The discussion will thus cover a broad range of topics, including the goals of the DSM, leadership strategies for establishing the DSM, and European Commission reform.
