At the TECH7 Summit in Paris on May 28, the joint statement from the G7 digital associations was presented and handed over to the G7 digital ministers ahead of their meeting on May 29. It addresses key issues in the global digital economy—from cybersecurity and critical infrastructure to AI deployment, data governance, and quantum technologies, as well as digital health, skills, and the empowerment of SMEs—and calls on G7 governments to intensify public-private dialogue and create framework conditions that strengthen innovation, investment, and the competitiveness of digital economies. TECH7 brings together the leading technology industry associations from the G7 countries and the EU: TECHNATION (Canada), Numeum and AFNUM (France), Anitec-Assinform (Italy), JEITA (Japan), techUK (United Kingdom), ITI (USA), DIGITALEUROPE (EU), and Bitkom as the German representative.
