About the Brief

Continental Brief is a daily digest of technology policy and digital economy news from the European Union, written for the people who work these files: policy professionals, public-affairs teams, analysts and the founders trying to build within the rules Brussels writes.

What we cover

Four desks, one rulebook. Policy follows the legislation and its enforcers, from the AI Act to the DMA. Digital Economy tracks telecom, cloud and the money behind Europe's networks. Innovation covers research programmes, startups and public digital infrastructure. Capitals watches how member states apply the rules at home.

Editorial standards

The newsroom monitors dozens of publications, company newsrooms and regulators every day and selects the stories that matter to our readers. Each story is written and checked by the editorial team against the original report before publication; the newsroom uses automation to monitor sources and prepare drafts, and an editor is responsible for every text that goes live. The original source is linked at the bottom of every story so it can always be read in full.

We summarise, we do not copy, and we do not add facts that are not in the source. Corrections: editor@continentalbrief.org. Sponsored content is labelled — see advertising. Continental Brief is an independent publication, not affiliated with the institutions and companies it covers.
