About the campaign

CCIA Europe

At the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA Europe), we represent digital technology companies building and delivering the tools, platforms, and infrastructure that power Europe’s digital economy.

Our Members want to invest, hire people, and deploy cutting-edge technologies at scale across the European Union – helping Europe tackle challenges from climate change and sustainable growth, to healthcare and mobility.

And CCIA Europe’s Members have partnered with European companies for decades, empowering their success and growth.

Instead of enabling progress, the current EU regulatory environment too often still holds back innovators with complex, fragmented, and contradictory rules.

The EU’s simplification efforts are moving slowly in the right direction, but now is the time for real ambition and decisive action.

Through our campaign ‘Simplify EU tech rules. Unlock innovation.’ we call on the European Commission to be far more ambitious in its simplification approach.

1. Europe does not need more rules –
it needs better ones.

2. Make sustainability an engine for growth

Addressing inconsistencies is only the first step. To lead again, Europe must embrace ambitious simplification that removes barriers and empowers innovation to thrive. That’s how Europe becomes truly competitive.
