History
The organization was founded in 1999 as the European Information and Communications Technology Industry Association (EICTA) by consolidating two former European organizations, ECTEL and EUROBIT, which represented the information and telecommunications industries.<ref name="EBUMarch2009Rebrand">Template:Cite news</ref> EICTA expanded its scope to include the consumer electronics industry; on October 1, 2001, the association merged with the European Association of Consumer Electronics Manufacturers (EACEM). The new joint association changed its name to the European Information, Communications and Consumer Electronics Technology Industry Association (but kept its original acronym, EICTA).<ref name="DVBOctober2001EICTA">Template:Cite news</ref>
On March 12, 2009, EICTA rebranded as DIGITALEUROPE.<ref name="EBUMarch2009Rebrand" /><ref name="DigitalEuropeStatutesPDF">Template:Cite news</ref> Overtime, its membership has expanded to include vertical industries such as healthcare, finance and manufacturing.

Policy positions
In November 2014, it published a paper called "Law Enforcement Access to Data in the European Cloud" that asks the European Commission to "consider filing an amicus brief" with a U.S. appellate court regarding Microsoft's legal challenge of a U.S. warrant for a Microsoft user's private emails. As DIGITALEUROPE sees it, the fact that the data requested is stored on servers located in Dublin, Ireland, means that U.S. authorities should use mutual legal assistance treaties rather than strong-arming a U.S. multinational, which raises concerns about national sovereignty.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In anticipation to the publication of Neelie Kroes's Digital Agenda,<ref name="DigitalEuropeMay2010Agenda">Template:Cite web</ref> DigitalEurope released a paper in May 2010 about Europe's digital future which was called A Transformational Agenda for the Digital Age DigitalEurope's Vision 2020.
