European commitment to bold climate goals makes us rethink everything around us. The nexus of the Green Deal and Digital Transformation will not just produce a twin-transition for European businesses and society, but it can provide us up to 30 % of our carbon reduction goals by 2030. As a side-effect, new prosperity and competitiveness will be created. How to unleash all this potential?
