AIOTI supports the objectives of the Industrial Accelerator Act and encourages the European Commission to ensure strong alignment between industrial, digital, and sustainability policies. Digital technologies will be fundamental to achieving Europes climate neutrality objectives while maintaining industrial competitiveness and resilience.

The RED builds on the European Green Deal, in which the Commission set out “a new growth strategy that aims to transform the EU into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use.

AIOTI welcomes the European Commissions Digital Networks Act and supports its objective of strengthening Europes competitiveness, resilience and technological sovereignty. AIOTI recognises the strategic importance of a robust, secure and future-proof digital connectivity infrastructure as a fundamental enabler of Europes economic growth, innovation and digital transformation.

Brussels, 9 July 2025 AIOTI Feedback on the upcoming Digital Networks Act Comments on Simplification objective: Investment needs: While we acknowledge the fragmentation of the European telecoms sector, it is our view that a consolidation of the European telecoms sector could stimulate massive investment in digital infrastructure across the European Union (EU) provided, however, that European consumers’ welfare is…

AIOTI welcomes the European Commission’s efforts to address the critical need to improve the energy performance of Europe’s building stock. With a contribution of 36% to the EU CO2 emissions from building operations, mainly from the generation of energy, it is evident that decarbonization of energy generation is of highest priority and reducing unnecessary energy consumption a quick first win.

The Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI) appreciates the use of a Regulation as a legal instrument to help building an EU digital Single Market for trustworthy AI and to avoid regulatory fragmentation. AIOTI welcomes the risk-and New Legislative Framework (NLF) based approach and to introduce specific rules for specific uses, rather than legislating the technology as such.

The European Commission published on 31 March 2022 a proposal for a Regulation on Ecodesign for Sustainable Products (the Regulation). The proposal addresses product design, which determines up to 80% of a product's lifecycle environmental impact.

The EED builds on the European Green Deal, in which the Commission set out “a new growth strategy that aims to transform the EU into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use.

AIOTI welcomes the move to regulate for greater cybersecurity. Our members are committed to integrating robust security into their products and services, and support initiatives aimed at fostering greater trust among users, consumers, businesses, and public authorities regarding the safety and security of digital technologies.

Alliance for AI, IoT and Edge Continuum Innovation is providing the following feedback: One of the key tasks of the Cybersecurity Act (CA) is to create the European Cybersecurity Certification Framework ECCF. In this context, we agree that the Cybersecurity Certification should be based on technical standards, which can be measurable and assessable with measurable and EU Member States aligned cybersecurity criteria.

The Alliance for IoT and Edge Computing Innovation (AIOTI) welcomes the European Commissions (EC) intention to address the technological challenges and future trends of Europe's connectivity infrastructure, therefore, we would like to recommend the following general actions: Focus on solving the computing continuum challenges, together with optimized energy consumption and resource utilization challenges.

Overall: For most IoT ecosystems, in order to support addressing societal challenges having trusted open and dynamic data readily available as core facility, it is a prerequisite to have such data and derived data and being able to use it, to add to such ecosystems and understand how to share and otherwise being able to use such data and derived data.

Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI) believes the future of the Single Digital Market is underpinned by IoT data. In the future Internet navigation-related data will represent a minor portion of all datasets. Most of future data will be generated by IoT devices and sensors.

AIOTI welcomes the move to regulate for greater cyber security. Our members are committed to providing security in our products, we welcome steps to create maximum trust among users and consumers of the safety, security, and resilience of their digital products. We want to point out that the value chain of manufacturing electronic devices is more complex than portrayed in the proposed regulation.

Brussels, 18 July 2025 AIOTI Response to public consultation on EU Standardisation Regulation Overall Comments AIOTI supports the current legal framework for standardisation as outlined in Regulation 1025/2012 and the work of the ICT Multi-Stakeholder Platform.
