Latin America and the Caribbean: Launched EU-Latin America and Caribbean Digital Alliance

On 14 March 2023, the European Union-Latin America and Caribbean Digital Alliance was launched. The initiative aims to foster the development of secure, resilient and human-centric digital infrastructures on the basis of a values-based framework, ensuring a democratic and transparent enabling environment and putting a strong emphasis on privacy and digital rights. In particular, the Alliance will provide a forum for regular high-level dialogue and cooperation on priority topics such as infrastructure, regulatory environment, skills development, technology, entrepreneurship and innovation, digitalisation of public services, and Earth observation data and satellite navigation applications and services. Furthermore, in view of the EU-CELAC Summit in July 2023, the participants are discussing proposals for a digital investment agenda involving the private sector of both regions.
