​​​​​​​​European Commission experts and local and regional politicians will virtually gather to discuss challenges and opportunities linked to digital transition and connectivity for the cities and regions in Europe. This second meeting in 2021 will focus on how to measure digital transformation, including through the Digital Compass/Digital Decade initiative by the European Commission and the CoR-ESPON LORDI index, and on embedding these initiatives in the green and digital transformation at local level.
