Digital economy, labour markets, skills and health
The rapid pace of digital and innovative change can provide us with new tools to address complex policy challenges
Technology adoption in the current crisis could play a major role in economic recovery. The right mix of industrial policies, single market policies and competition policy continues to be an important question.
