Rijksinspectie Digitale Infrastructuur publishes Trend Radar 2026–2035

CARIBBEAN NETHERLANDS - The digital infrastructure faces major challenges in the coming years. Geopolitical tensions, cyber-attacks, sabotage and espionage are putting pressure on the security and reliability of digital networks and services.

At the same time, technological developments, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and new satellite technology, offer opportunities, but they also bring new risks. This is evident from the Trend Radar 2026–2035 of the Dutch Authority for Digital Infrastructure (RDI).

The Trend Radar maps 26 developments that may affect the digital infrastructure over the next ten years. One of the areas of attention is the increasing congestion of the frequency spectrum.

This may have consequences for the availability and reliability of wireless communication and other essential digital services. The developments identified may also have consequences for services on which society relies every day, such as the internet, payment systems and the energy supply.

With the Trend Radar, the RDI aims to gain timely insight into changes and potential risks for the digital infrastructure. The publication thus provides starting points for the further development of the supervision and priorities of the RDI in the coming years.
