Strategies

In order to create a more socially-oriented and climate-friendly digital space, and to ensure the sovereignty of communities and regions, we need digital commons and public infrastructures. We need this in the domains of education and science, public service media, care, and in our economy overall. Policymakers and governments will have to invest and co-create in the society and the economy they would like to see. This means investing massively and collectively in viable alternatives.

With a coordinated approach, Europe has the opportunity to play a determining role in how we shape our digital futures. The public sector will have to invest in and co-create public and digital infrastructures and provide support for smaller collective players to populate the digital ecosystem. A concrete way of doing this is to establish public tech funds and incubator programmes to radically change the digital ecosystem and democratize the digital transition. Back to Stories: tap image.
