A Transatlantic Effort to Take on China Starts with Technology
The US and EU must work together to develop a shared strategic approach to technology that reflects values of openness, drives innovation, and establishes a legal framework for digital governance that prioritizes fundamental human rights. The US private sector has continued to dominate in size and innovation, but the US government has lagged in the policy realm. The EU has made significant efforts to establish regulatory guidelines for US tech companies operating in Europe, but few European companies are global champions. The central paradox is that while the US private sector has continued to dominate in size and innovation, the US government has lagged in the policy realm.
