About
The Eastern Partnership
The Eastern Partnership (EaP) was launched in 2009 as a joint policy initiative to deepen and strengthen relations between the European Union (EU), its Member States and its five Eastern neighbours: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine.
In 2019, as the partnership marked its 10th anniversary, the European Commission carried out a broad and inclusive consultation to define the future policy objectives. The EU-EaP policy commitment to a strong digital presence in the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood was renewed in 2020. The EU4Digital initiative aims to extend the EU’s Digital Single Market to the Eastern Partner states, developing the potential of the digital economy and society, in order to bring economic growth, generate jobs, and improve people’s lives.
Why the conference?
