EU and Canada strengthen their digital partnership with a focus on artificial intelligence, digital identity wallets and independent media
The EU and Canada reinforced their co-operation and reaffirmed shared interests to boost competitiveness, innovation and economic resilience during the first Digital Partnership Council held yesterday in Montreal, Canada. The Council took place back-to-back with the G7 Industry, Digital and Technology Ministerial meeting, hosted by Canada.
Both the EU and Canada have launched strategies to strengthen their competitiveness and digital sovereignty and reiterated the importance of supporting companies, especially small and medium-sized, with smart regulations.
Co-chaired by Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy Executive Vice President Henna Virkkunen (pictured), and Canada's Minister for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation, Evan Solomon, the Council welcomed the cooperation under the Partnership and set an ambitious agenda for the months to come. The EU and Canada agreed to explore opportunities to cooperate with like-minded partners on issues of common interest.
