The document summarizes a presentation on regional digital agendas in Europe. It discusses the Digital Agenda for Europe and progress towards its goals. Key points include: broadband access targets for EU citizens and households, progress on those targets based on the latest scoreboard data, and the importance of broadband for competitiveness and economic growth. It also outlines how EU cohesion policy and funding programs support the development of broadband infrastructure, especially in rural areas.

Editor's Notes
- #4 Overall EU policy action is framed by the EU2020 strategy, which features a few high-level targets and "flagship initiatives"; one of those is the DAE. Digital technology has an ever-growing impact in today's economy and society, which justifies dedicated digital strategies from EU (DAE) and MS (e.g. DA Portugal). [Mention some data from the slide]
- #5 DAE comprehensive approach: stimulate fast connections, which support value services and content, for the benefit of competent users (citizens, enterprises, administrations). Structure: 7 pillars, over 100 actions, key performance targets, supporting benchmarks. Review December 2012: cloud becomes a fully-fledged pillar, "key transformative actions" in each pillar, additional actions (many of the original actions already completed).
- #6 This is the 4th edition of DAE GL. One year ago coincided the adoption of the DAE review and DA Portugal; we can now take stock of 2013 achievements. GL is one of the DAE governance tools amongst others (HLG, DAA, scoreboard…). These all aim at active stakeholders involvement , which is key to DAE delivery.

- #30 Biggest spender on infrastructure: Poland (€ 984 million) – Greece (€ 210 million – Italy / Spain (€ 164 million each) AT: only 1,5% goes to ICT. This percentage is similar to that of BG (1.1%) contrast: the 9.5% of the Slovak Republic for ICT investments
- #35 Message: Last trilogue: 16 May – then EP debates & votes Despite the adoption of te regulation texts slipping back to October – probably – we cannot afford to wait with the drafting of the partnership agreements and operational programmes until then. We would loose precious time for the laucnh of the implementation of the new programmes We expect to get the Pas and OP by summer and then negotiate to be able to adopt them by the end of this year. One element of the negotiations will be to check the compliance with the RIS3 conditionality. The second important step in terms of innovation and research investments is then to check the cosistency between the OP innovation investments and the RIS3. To put it simple: A RIS3 can (and should) include many more elements and activities than merely the ERDF / ESIF funding But the IP1 and IP2bc axis in the OP should not fund anything outside the relevant RIS3 This means that the RIS3 should also be ready by summer …. But realistically some won't ….
- #37 ERDF investment priority 2. Improve the access, quality and use of ICT: a) diffusion of broadband and high speed networksb) development of ICT products and services, electronic commerce and increased demand for ICTc) strengthening the application of ICT for eGovernment, eLearning, eInclusion and eHealth CSF key ERDF actions roll-out of open, affordable and future-proof Next Generation Access Infrastructures (NGA) that are accessible to all in under-served areas and in the economic centres of the less developed regions with the aim of creating jobs and contributing to higher productivity levels and a more competitive European economy; eGovernment applications with the aim of enhancing innovation, the modernisation of public administrations and access to these services by citizens, including marginalised groups and people with disabilities; ICT applications that contribute to meeting future societal challenges and opportunities such as eHealth, ageing population, reducing carbon emissions, resource-efficiency, education, eInclusion, energy efficiency, eGovernment, integrated ICT solutions for 'smart cities', consumer information and empowerment; investment in the large-scale uptake of ICT-based innovations within and between regions to address key societal challenges.
- #46 Start-up Europe can be also referred to here Background: Following the Employment Package of April 2012 VP Kroes called for the formation of a multi-stakeholder partnership, the Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs, to tackle the twin issues of a projected shortfall of up to 900,000 ICT professionals in Europe by 2015, exacerbated by a decline in computing science graduates. Hence, its aim is to increase the overall supply of digitally skilled professionals and to better match supply and demand of digital skills. On 4-5 March 2013 the Commission launched the Grand Coalition at a Conference in Brussels, which was hosted by President José Manuel Barroso Vice Presidents Neelie Kroes and Antonio Tajani, Commissioners László Andor and Androula Vassiliou as well as Richard Bruton, Irish Minister for Jobs, Entreprise and Innovation. The Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs will deliver concrete actions, which can be implemented in the short-term and have high local impact. It will build on on-going programmes and best practices that could be scaled-up. The following are some of the objectives of the actions: Improve the image and attractiveness of ICT careers Offer training packages co-designed with the ICT industry Offer more aligned degrees and curricula at vocational and university level education that will respond to the needs of the students and the industry Improve recognition of qualifications across countries by stimulating take-up of a European certification scheme for digital skills of ICT professionals, based on the existing e-Competence Framework Reduce labour market mismatches by stimulating mobility Stimulate digital entrepreneurship by liaising with Startup Europe, a single platform for tools and programmes supporting people wanting to set up and grow web start-ups in Europe The Grand Coalition will help accelerate and intensify efforts initiated by European policies, such as the Digital Agenda for Europe, the e-Skills Strategy, the Employment Package, the Opening up Education Initiative, the Rethinking Education Strategy, the Youth Opportunities Initiative, and the EU Skills Panorama.
