APPEAL:

A "digital civil right" for every EU citizen to belong to a personal, EU-wide peer group (Personal EU),

selected using secure European TeamFinder technology,

aiming to foster safe, Union-wide, and globally exemplary cooperation

• between citizens

• and to complement governance

for the internal and external benefit of the citizen and the Union

A Digital Civil Right to Belong

The core appeal of Personal EU is to establish a digital framework where every EU citizen has the opportunity to belong to a personal, Union-wide peer group.

This initiative directly reflects the European Commission’s focus on digital self-reliance and technological sovereignty. By fostering secure, cross-border cooperation between citizens, Personal EU aims to complement existing governance structures and bring the practical benefits of a connected Europe directly to the individual level.

Our objective is to implement a solution that aligns with the evolution of the European Digital Identity Wallet—giving citizens a secure, independent way to connect, cooperate, and grow together across borders.

PERSONAL EU TeamFinder:

Creating a Digitally Sovereign Europe

Where Talent Connects Union-Wide

DG CONNECT acknowledged that TeamFinder EU’s goals of lifelong learning and cross-border cooperation align with the Commission's vision for European technological sovereignty and digital self-reliance. The initiative supports these aims by providing automatic access to multinational groups of 5–25 individuals, ensuring AI integration adheres to human-centric oversight and the EU AI Act.

The Personal EU ecosystem strengthens the Union's digital landscape via everyday solutions, open-source alignment, and a global pioneering model.

The initiative explores EU funding avenues like Horizon Europe and the Digital Europe Programme, and thanks the European Commission for its review.

Let's do it!
