Digital partnership signed this Friday (12) expands cooperation in artificial intelligence, data, semiconductors, cloud, connectivity, and digital public infrastructure, as Brazil and the European Union attempt to reduce technological dependencies and align agendas following the recent trade agreement with Mercosur.

Brazil and the European Union signed a digital partnership this Friday (12) to expand cooperation in artificial intelligence, digital public infrastructure, connectivity, data protection, semiconductors, and high-performance computing.

Agreement aims at digital sovereignty

The instrument gives political weight to a technical relationship built over two decades. The partnership places Brazil in a select group of countries with this type of digital cooperation.

The proposal came from the European Union, which maintains similar instruments only with Canada, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore. The goal is to intensify joint action in digital areas.
