Legal issues of digitalisation in Europe - Measures to effectively help companies advance their digital strategies

BusinessEurope and Noerr LLP on 29 released a study on legal issues of digitalisation in Europe. As Europe’s leaders meet at the Digital Summit in Tallinn this Friday 29 September, we believed that it was a timely update. The study reveals daily digitalisation problems of industry in Europe from the grass roots level. This includes key findings on the approach needed to create conditions for Europe to lead in the global data economy. The value of the European data economy has the ability to increase to 739 billion EUR or some 4% of EU GDP by 2020 if the correct policies are set. BusinessEurope Director General Markus J. Beyrer said: “Our study on legal issues of digitalisation in Europe is a clear message to Europe’s leaders meeting in Tallinn. Businesses want to see an end to national measures that restrict the free flow of non-personal data in Europe.”
