              The data-driven economy is entering a second phase, driven by generative AI and marked by intensified global competition to dominate the new general-purpose technologies that it enables and to capture the economic rents these technologies generate.

              The European Union, along with other small open economies, missed the first phase of the data economy, based on predictive AI and the rise of superstar platform-firms, resulting in weakened fiscal capacity, technological dependencies, and increasing exposure to information warfare.

              What can the EU do to reverse this trajectory and reclaim strategic relevance in the generative AI era? Our latest policy brief puts forward a two-pillar reform agenda for policymakers in Europe and beyond.

              This brief was produced within the framework of the Center for the Governance of Change’s research program The Digital Revolution and the New Social Contract. It is based on the third policy paper of the package: Dan Ciurak, From Gatekeeper to Gameplayer: Reclaiming Europe’s Strategic Relevance in the Data-Driven Age (June 2025).
