Shaping EU Digital Priorities from a CEE Perspective

Business & Science Poland, together with CEE Digital Coalition and Związek Cyfrowa Polska / Digital Poland Association, hosted an important discussion on EU Digital Priorities for 2026.

Ieva Ilves had the honour to represent the Baltic region and share experience from work in Ukraine. The conversation emphasized the importance of stronger representation from Central and Eastern Europe, particularly as the EU enters a critical implementation phase of major regulatory frameworks.

Key insights:

• CEE countries bring practical, risk-aware perspectives to digital policy
• Regional businesses must play a more active role in shaping regulation
• Coordination across the region is key to influencing EU outcomes

Context:
Discussion co-organised with regional digital policy stakeholders.
