…modern technology has allowed young people to learn remotely and millions to
work from home. They enabled companies to sell their products, factories to keep
running and government to deliver crucial public services from afar.
We saw years' worth of digital innovation and transformation in the space of a few
weeks.
We must make this Europe's Digital Decade.”
