New EU office in San Francisco to strengthen digital diplomacy
Today [1 September], the EU opens a new office in San Francisco, California. This office aims to enhance cooperation with the United States on digital diplomacy, including in the field of cybersecurity, hybrid threats and foreign information manipulation and interference.
The EU office will strive to promote EU standards and technologies, as well as digital policies and governance models. It will also advance the work of the EU-US Trade and Technology Council.
This office will reinforce the EU’s capacity to reach out to public and private stakeholders, including the business community.
Gerard de Graaf will head this new office. For many years, he worked in the European Commission on digital topics. Gerard de Graaf notably dealt with the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act.
As a first step, the office will be co-located with the Irish Consulate.
