To become a world leader of the digital transformation, Europe needs the right institutional framework and governance to deliver on its ambitious policies and to remove roadblocks. In our paper, we present a list of five measures to improve digital policy-making, based on suggestions from our recent paper “Towards European Leadership on Innovation - Recommendations for the next Digital Single Market”. By adapting its governance mechanisms, we believe the European Commission and Parliament can improve the coherence of their policy-making in the digital sphere and ensure an innovation-friendly, future-proof and legally sound policy framework.
