The Eastern Partnership (EaP) needs an upgrade. This flagship policy of the European Union needs to evolve in line with the changing priorities and interests of the bloc and its eastern neighbours in everything from anti-corruption and security cooperation to gender equality and the environment.

Digitalisation creates huge opportunities for economic and social development in EaP countries. Globally, Moldova ranks in 47th place for its use of information and communications technology, while Georgia and Ukraine rank in 57th place and 74th place respectively. These countries also have very dynamic IT sectors, creating significant potential for synergy with the EU in this area.
