Since the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took affect across Europe in 2018, there has been a steady stream of tech and data-related legislation adopted by the European Union (EU) as part of its broader Data and Tech Regulation strategy. This includes the Digital Services Act (DSA) launched in 2022, upcoming measures like NIS2 to boost cybersecurity, and other pending regulations such as the AI Act and the ePrivacy Regulation.
Establishing Europe as a global leader in the data economy is the aim of the European strategy. It focuses on encouraging and fostering data governance, data access, as well as sharing and reusing data, while ensuring high levels of privacy and protection of data and users.
