European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos stated that digital connectivity is the fundamental element that enables all other forms of connectivity to function. Kos explained that trains need digital systems, electricity grids require real-time data, and border crossings depend on information sharing. She emphasized that these connections must be secure and operated by trusted partners.

Noting that Europe is home to world-class companies capable of contributing to the development of such infrastructure, Kos announced that the first initiatives had been unveiled at the opening of the Digital Connectivity Platform in Chisinau. She stated that these initiatives could pave the way for more than €600 million in investment in secure digital connections linking Europe and Central Asia through Türkiye, the Black Sea and the South Caucasus.
