Digital innovation har evnen til at ændre vores industrier, samfund og liv. Den digitale innovation kan også udgøre en trussel, hvis den ikke reguleres ordentligt. I dette afsnit af Græsrøddernes holdning gør vi status over den digitale omstilling i Europa. Hvor står EU i forhold til resten af verden? Hvilke udfordringer og muligheder ligger forude? Hvordan kan Europa blive og forblive konkurrencedygtigt og samtidig beskytte europæernes rettigheder og velfærd?
Vi kigger nærmere på disse spørgsmål og søger svar sammen med Tanya O'Carroll, ekspert i teknologi og menneskerettigheder, Jennifer Baker, som er journalist i Bruxelles med speciale i teknologi, politik og digital lovgivning, og EØSU's medlemmer Gonçalo Lobo Xavier (Arbejdsgivergruppen), generaldirektør for det portugisiske industriforbund (CIP), Franca Salis-Madinier (Arbejdstagergruppen), næstformand for EØSU's Observatorium for den digitale omstilling og det indre marked, og Giuseppe Guerini (Gruppen af civilsamfundsorganisationer), formand for Den europæiske sammenslutning af industri- og servicekooperativer.
