The EU’s Digital Decade programme sets common targets for Europe’s digitalisation until 2030. The programme obliges Member States to prepare their own national road maps for realising these targets.

Finland’s road map is based on the <a href="http://urn.fi/URN:ISBN:978-952-383-609-9">Government Report</a> on digital compass (VNS 10/2022 vp), implementation plan preparations and the Government Programme of Prime Minister Orpo’s Government and budget decisions. The road map was drafted under the guidance of the ministerial working group on social transformation at the Coordination Group Digital Office where all of the ministries are represented.

The key targets include competence, digital infrastructure, businesses and public services. The plan describes the current state and targets of Finland’s digitalisation and the measures to support the EU’s common targets in digitalisation.

The road map takes into account the first European Commission report on the state of the Digital Decade and the recommendations for necessary development measures. The European Commission will publish a report annually. The road map would be updated for the first time in 2024, and every two years after that.

In addition, there is a broader implementation plan for the national digital compass that will guide the development of digitalisation. This is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023.
