Luxembourg – At the EU telecommunications ministers’ meeting, Slovene Digital Transformation Minister Ksenija Klampfer emphasized the urgent need for a European satellite system.
The Slovenian Ministry for Digital Transformation noted that such a system would facilitate secure communication in the face of threats and provide internet access in areas where broadband infrastructure is too costly or unfeasible.
Klampfer asserted that a dedicated satellite system would bolster Europe’s technological sovereignty.
She also participated in an event in Luxembourg for the MED9 group, comprised of European Mediterranean nations, currently chaired by Slovenia.
The gathering focused on sharing best practices and discussing the implementation of artificial intelligence and new technologies to tackle regional challenges. Slovenia proposed a collaborative inventory of AI initiatives in the public sectors of MED9 countries, particularly targeting climate change, migration, food security, and cybersecurity.
This initiative received unanimous support from all MED9 member states, which include Cyprus, France, Greece, Croatia, Italy, Malta, Portugal, and Spain, along with positive feedback from a high representative of the European Commission. (June 6)
