Abstract: In a society where technology represents the main preference of most individuals and an integrated part of their lives, the need for digitization becomes imminent. At global level, each state makes considerable efforts towards the implementation of policies and scenarios that support the development using advanced ICT tools. The present paper intends to address the main issues related to how Europe manages its digital transformation. Topics such as the evolution of the last years with regards to the digitization of the EU member states and the position of Europe globally from the perspective of the degree of digitization will be considered. The article will also highlight the points where the EU excels in terms of digitization as well as the main gaps it faces. Moreover, the future directions through which the EU intends to improve its transition to a fully digital world will be highlighted.
