KPIs for 2030
Building on the European Commission’s excellent work on the Digital Decade, DIGITALEUROPE
has set its own KPIs to measure the EU’s success in digital by 2030. In some cases, these KPIs are
the same as those of the Commission, while in others, they are more ambitious. We have also
introduced additional KPIs that we see as good measures of Europe’s digital progress.
Crucially, all the KPIs below reflect where DIGITALEUROPE and its members can contribute with
policy ideas and concrete action.
By 2030:
More than
of EU companies should use
cloud computing services, big
data, and AI
(DESI, 2023: 34%, 14% & 8%).
The EU should double the number
of unicorns
(CBInsights, 2022 baseline).
of SMEs should reach at least
a basic level of digital intensity
(DESI, 2023: 69%).
of key public services are
available online for European
citizens and businesses,
including medical records
(DESI, 2023: 77%).
Everyone should enjoy gigabit
internet, everywhere, eliminating
the “digital divide”
(DESI, 2023 – 73%).
of European SMEs that operate
online should trade across at
least one European border
(DESI: 2021: 8.7%).
Foreign direct
investment from
outside the EU
should double to
€15 billion
(Eurostat, 2021: €7.5 bn).
There should be
the same amount
of legislation as
there is today, with
the one-in, one-out
principle strictly
enforced
(Bruegel, 2023 baseline)
