The report warns that the phase-out of the Recovery and Resilience Facility risks investment discontinuity and calls on Member States to address gaps through national roadmaps and stronger EU-level coordination.", "body_md": "The 2026 report highlights that, while the foundations of the EU’s digital transformation are in place, the scale, speed and coordination of implementation need to be significantly reinforced. The EU has advanced in several areas, including connectivity, business digitalisation and the deployment of common digital infrastructures. However, significant gaps remain in foundational technologies, computing capacity, cybersecurity, advanced digital take-up, digital skills and scale-up capacity.\n\nMoreover, the progressive phase-put of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) creates a risk of investment discontinuity. The 2026 State of the Digital Decade report thus calls on Member States to use the next adjustment of their Digital Decade national roadmaps (December 2026) to address existing gaps through concrete measures and reforms, while ensuring stronger alignment with the next Multi-Annual Financial Framework (MFF) and the future EU Competitiveness Fund. The report also stresses the need for deeper EU-level coordination.\n\nOn this page, you can find the report’s main communication and Annex 1, together with the short versions of the 27 country reports.\n\n## See also\n\n## Downloads\n\n1 - Communication from the Commission 'State of the Digital Decade 2026' (main report)\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128542)\n2 - Annex 1 to the Communication - State of EU digital transformation in 2026: Progress and EU-level recommendations\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128595)\n3 - Austria short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128596)\n4 - Belgium short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128597)\n5 - Bulgaria short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128598)\n6 - Croatia short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128599)\n7 - Cyprus short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128600)\n8 - Czechia short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128601)\n9 - Denmark short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128602)\n10 - Estonia short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128603)\n11 - Finland short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128604)\n12 - France short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128605)\n13 - Germany short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128606)\n14 - Greece short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128607)\n15 - Hungary short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128608)\n16 - Ireland short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128609)\n17 - Italy short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128610)\n18 - Latvia short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128611)\n19 - Lithuania short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128612)\n20 - Luxembourg short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128613)\n21 - Malta short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128614)\n22 - The Netherlands short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128615)\n23 - Poland short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128616)\n24 - Portugal short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128617)\n25 - Romania short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128618)\n26 - Slovakia short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128622)\n27 - Slovenia short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128623)\n28 - Spain short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128624)\n29 - Sweden short country report\n\n[\nDownload\n](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/128625)\n30.
