Regulatory Sandboxes in Action: Empowering Regions for Smarter Innovation

The European Union is rapidly advancing its capacity for regulatory experimentation in response to fast-paced technological change, the increasing complexity of innovation ecosystems and the urgent need for regulatory agility. Strategic priorities such as EU competitiveness, the green and digital transitions and the single market require regulatory frameworks that are responsive and forward-looking. Experimental regulatory approaches are gaining momentum across the EU, enabling regulators and innovators to test new technologies in controlled environments, clarify legal uncertainties, manage risks and support faster, evidence-based and responsible innovation.
