Post-event report - EU-Canada Digital Partnership Week on ICT Standardisation

The European Union (EU) and Canada have long-established agreements, as reiterated in the recent EU-Canada summit (23/06/2025), that underpin a strong and forward-looking cooperation for the digital era. These include the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which facilitates trade and investment, and the EU-Canada Digital Partnership, launched to enhance collaboration on digital policy and technology governance. Such agreements reflect the EU and Canada’s shared commitment for a secure, inclusive, and human-centric digital transformation, that will enable them to maintain their sovereignty and competitiveness among technological and geopolitical shifts. In line with the EU International Digital strategy, the European Union will continue to promote its values-based approach on digital governance and digital standards to shape a global digital transformation that is human-centric, trustworthy, and respects human rights and fundamental freedoms.
