After the first Mayors Digital Assembly, Living-in.EU conducted a consultation to identify the key priorities of the digital agenda in cities and regions across Europe. The following key priorities were identified and will drive the Living-in.EU mission in the upcoming years: advancing the twin green and digital transformation at local level; fostering technological innovation (city as a platform); better-informed policies through data; and, people-centred digital transformation and digital rights.  The official version of the new mission statement will be soon made available through our channels.
