Digital & Innovation

In today’s rapidly evolving world, digitalisation is more than a technical shift—it is a civic and societal challenge. At ALDA, we believe that digital transformation must go hand-in-hand with democracy, inclusivity, and transparency. From artificial intelligence to online participation, the Digital & Innovation Hub fosters an ethical and inclusive approach to new technologies, ensuring no one is left behind.

Our vision: A society where digital tools enable active citizenship, equitable participation, and informed communities.

Indeed, ALDA’s efforts and actions aim at the construction of an inclusive and fair society providing equal opportunities for all its citizens regardless of their gender, social status, nationality or any other discriminant aspect.

The Hub therefore works to:

• Localise SDGs through digital tools (SDG 4, 5, 8, 10, 11)
• Support the EU’s “A Europe Fit for the Digital Age”
• Contribute to the Council of Europe’s AI & Human Rights Convention
• Align with Commission priorities 2024–2029, including AI, cybersecurity, and digital democracy

European society should be able to adapt itself to the challenges of the new means of participation related to the development of digital tools, as highlighted by the Commission Priorities for 2019-24 above mentioned. In particular the second pillar “A Europe fit for the digital age” aims to implement this transformation for all components of society, while supporting the SDGs localisation and implementation as well as the European vision and will to make this Europe’s “Digital Decade“.
