Have your say: Interoperable Europe Agenda consultation
This consultation will inform the work of the Interoperable Europe Board to update the Interoperable Europe Agenda – the Union’s main instrument for coordinating priorities for interoperability solutions and setting out the roadmap for implementing the Interoperable Europe Act.
“After organising a public consultation process through the Interoperable Europe portal, the Board shall adopt, each year, a strategic agenda by which to plan and coordinate priorities for the development of cross-border interoperability of trans-European digital public services. The Interoperable Europe Agenda shall take into account the Union’s long-term strategies for digitalisation, existing Union funding programmes and ongoing Union policy implementation.” (Article 19 of the Interoperable Europe Act)

Join us in this important endeavour to create seamless and efficient digital public services throughout Europe. Your input matters, and together, we can drive meaningful change. Open to everyone, we encourage input from a wide array of stakeholders, including the Interoperable Europe Community, interoperability coordinators, and public administrations at all levels. Feedback received will inform the updating of the Interoperable Europe Agenda in collaboration with Member States, to be submitted to the Interoperable Europe Board for adoption.
1. The Interoperable Europe Agenda
The objective of the Agenda is to strategically plan and coordinate priorities that align with the broader goals of facilitating seamless digital interactions across Member States. It considers the European Union's long-term digitalisation strategies, capitalises on existing Union funding programmes, and aligns with ongoing policy implementations at the Union level, ensuring a cohesive and future-ready interoperability framework.
The elements of the Interoperable Europe Agenda are laid down in Article 20 of the Interoperable Europe Act and include:
-
a needs assessment for the development of interoperability solutions;
-
an overview of ongoing and planned Interoperable Europe support measures (including policy implementation support projects, innovation measures, interoperability regulatory sandboxes and training and peer review programmes);
-
an overview of proposed follow-up actions to innovation measures (aimed at advancing the adoption of innovative interoperability solutions within the Union), including interoperability regulatory sandboxes (controlled environments to aid innovative measures) and actions in support of open-source interoperability solutions;
-
synergies with other relevant Union and national programmes and initiatives; and
-
potential financial opportunities in support of the priorities included
At the third meeting of the Interoperable Europe Board, the Interoperable Europe Agenda for 2026 has been adopted as well as the initial set of labelled Interoperable Europe Solutions.
The priorities and actions set out in the Agenda aim to support Member States and EU institutions in working together in a coordinated way to improve cross-border interoperability of public services in the EU. For 2026, the Agenda establishes seven priorities, categorised across four elements, each accompanied by concrete actions:
This consultation will collect stakeholders’ feedback on the continued applicability of the current priorities and actions in the next iteration of the Agenda.
2. The Agenda's development process
The consultation will remain open to everyone for 4 weeks via the Interoperable Europe Portal.
Building on the evidence gathered via this consultation, the Board’s Permanent Working Group will discuss the content for the next Agenda iteration. A co-creation approach will follow throughout 2026 to promote Member States’ co-ownership and ensure strategic alignment for joint actions.
3. Next steps: Towards the Fourth Interoperable Europe Board Meeting and Agenda adoption
The 4th Interoperable Europe Board meeting is scheduled to take place in May 2026 when preliminary results of this consultation may be discussed.
