- 80% of the technologies and services for Europe’s digital transformation are developed outside the Union;
- Only 13% of high-value startups are based in the EU;
- Less than 4% of the top online platforms are of European origin.

The European Union is actively working to lead the global tech race, particularly enforcing innovation in the areas of artificial intelligence, quantum computing and semiconductors. Still, according to the European Commission’s 2024 data, the EU is lagging behind the US and China.
