Navigating the EU Digital Strategy

Impact on Data Privacy and Opportunities for Global Business

The European Union’s (EU) data regulations have recently gained significant attention, particularly due to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Schrems II rulings. These regulations have led to major changes in data privacy, but they also present opportunities for businesses that can navigate the new landscape effectively.

While these regulations have led to substantial changes in data privacy, the goal of establishing a market for data and facilitating data exchange between companies has not yet been fully realised.

The EU Digital Strategy: A Comprehensive Framework

The EU digital strategy encompasses several acts, including:

  • Data Governance Act: Enhances trust in data sharing.
  • Digital Markets Act: Fosters fair and competitive markets.
  • Digital Services Act: Protects user rights in the digital space.
  • Data Act: Regulates data access in various business relationships.
  • AI Act: Implements stringent regulations on high-risk AI systems.

 

These acts are expected to become effective during or after Spring 2023, signalling a trend toward stricter regulatory guidelines for data and AI.
