Keeping pace with the latest tech

In the digital age, policy must play catch up as technological advancement increases exponentially. While governments and EU institutions debate how to govern artificial intelligence, data use, and online platforms, these technologies are already transforming daily life. DeHavilland helps organisations keep pace with EU digital policy, understand political risk, and prepare for the next wave of change.

DeHavilland political intelligence for tech and digital

Monitor in real-time

Whether your business is affected by the Artificial Intelligence Act, Digital Markets Act, Digital Services Act, Data Act, Cyber Resilience Act, GDPR developments, or upcoming rules like the Digital Networks Act, the Digital Fairness Act, and the Digital Omnibus package, it’s important to stay on top of what’s coming next.

DeHavilland monitors the full legislative process, providing real-time updates and clear analysis of both proposals and implementing measures. Our in-house policy team tracks European Commission initiatives, detailed co-legislator updates, and developments across cybersecurity, data protection, telecommunications, online platforms and connectivity.

See the big picture and the detail

The technology sector is broad, spanning emerging technologies, platform governance and infrastructure. Organisations need to see both the overall direction of digital policy and the specific issues that impact their business.

DeHavilland provides regular updates across the full sector, from the Digital daily roundup to the specific reports on certain areas, for instance Member State reports in this area. Our in-house experts also work alongside you to understand your aims and objectives and provide the important detail you cannot afford to miss.

Engage your next stakeholders

In the EU digital landscape, influence rests with a wide network of actors, MEPs, Commission officials, EU agencies, and national representatives. Engaging the right figures at the right time can provide a strategic edge.

DeHavilland People gives organisations access to thousands of political contacts, from legislators and regulators to institutional staff. With stakeholder maps and engagement tools curated by DeHavilland’s experts, organisations can target the most relevant decision-makers and strengthen their advocacy efforts.

Start horizon scanning

The EU’s digital policy is entering a more complex phase, operating on three levels at once: advancing new legislative initiatives such as the upcoming EU Cloud and AI Development Act and the Quantum Act; stepping up the implementation of legislation adopted over the past few years; and pursuing regulatory simplification through the Digital Omnibus. Anticipating how these strands will interact and develop is critical for long-term planning.

DeHavilland provides horizon scanning tools and political analysis that help organisations prepare for what lies ahead. From political groups’ positions on digital policy to the Commission’s evolving priorities, this foresight enables organisations to plan proactively and navigate Europe’s complex and dynamic digital environment.
