Resumen de Digital economy development in Spain

Gerard de Graaf

• Digital technologies and the internet are transforming the global economy with impacts on industry, trade, business models and labour markets. In only a few decades, the world economy has been radically transformed by computers, the internet, smartphones and the sharing economy. Spain’s results, in common with many other EU Member States, show a mixed picture with good progress in some areas but less in others. Europe has the capacity to exploit digital opportunities to the full and this could only be achieved together with coherent approaches across Member States, institutions and networks with all participants and actors.
