Abstract

There is an increasing emphasis on the role played by digitalization in our daily life. Starting with the industrial revolution, digitalization was applied primarily in the automation of manufacturing processes or in service provider processes. As a result, the effect of digitalization in many economic sectors has grown worldwide. The enhancement of digital potential is continuously supported at the European Union level. In order to improve the lives of citizens and enterprises, the 27 EU member nations therefore develop regulations that allow digitalization to be implemented at national level. The main goal of this article is to provide an overview of Romania's digital position within the framework of the European Union. The outcomes provide important insights into this nation's strengths as well as possible growth sectors that could potentially meet the level of the European Union. In regard to this goal, the paper first proposes a brief descriptive analysis of Internet access in Romania based on certain groups related to education and occupation. This will ultimately be followed by a comparative analysis that aims to highlight the ways in which Romania and the European Union differ based on the primary dimensions of the Digital Economy and Society Index.
