The European Commission has set out its vision and goals for building a digital sovereign and digital-oriented Europe for the benefit of people and businesses by 2030. The aim is to achieve a sustainable and prosperous digital human-centered future. The ongoing digital transformation of the economy and society is becoming increasingly important in terms of the overall development and progress of countries in the future. How does Slovakia react to this development? In 2019, Slovakia's vision and goals in the area of the digital agenda until 2030 and the subsequent action plan until 2022 were presented. How will the recently government-approved Strategy and Action Plan for Improving Slovakia's Position in DESI by 2025 help in further building a resilient, digitally skilled and innovative country? You will find out the answer in the speech of the State Secretary of MIRDI SR.
