Transformative Power of Digital
The project addresses the topics of digital transformation, transatlantic digital partnership and the development of EU digital policies.
Digitalisation has the potential to become the impetus for the economic growth and development that the CEE region needs. The project addresses the topics of digital transformation, transatlantic digital partnership and the development of EU digital policies.
Strategic autonomy has entered the EU vocabulary in 2013 as a security and defence issue. Rapidly changing world balance and political changes in traditionally friendly countries forced the EU to expand strategic autonomy to new sectors. Nevertheless, member states still tend to view it in different terms, in part due to countries pursuing different development strategies and working independently from one another.
The current pandemic fully revealed the importance of digital technologies, which have taken centre stage in discussions on strategic autonomy. Digitalisation played a crucial role during the pandemic to keep the society going, and its role will only grow in the coming years.
China’s rise as a technological power and the desire to protect liberal values, such as democracy and human rights, have made it urgent to deepen the partnership with like-minded countries on technology and digital trade. The recently established Trade and Technology Council (TTC) demonstrates that both the EU and the US are keen to deepen their relations and promote faster tech-enabled growth.
The project aims to kick start the conversation about European and transatlantic digital cooperation, European strategic autonomy and more.

Together with the Kosciuszko Institute, the Centre for European Perspective – CEP is proud to announce a joint report, Transformative Power of Digital: Central and Eastern Europe’s leap towards greater prosperity, innovation and resilience.
The report provides an overview of crucial needs and areas for CEE countries to leap to a digitally-enabled future and overcome centuries-old fragmentation and disjointment of infrastructure that hampers its development. The publication aims to define a strategic direction that has to be pursued so CEE can emerge as a cohesive region that enables dynamic, profitable and innovative intra-regional cooperation.
