The Government of North Macedonia adopted the SMART/MK 2030 Strategy in October 2025, providing a framework for digital transformation aligned with the EU Digital Europe Programme. The strategy covers four pillars: modern ICT infrastructure, digital skills for all citizens, e-governance, and digital business and innovation, with human capital investment as a stated priority.
Who it affects: Citizens, businesses, civil servants, and digital infrastructure planners across North Macedonia.
What is notably missing: SMART/MK 2030 is a strategic framework without binding AI literacy curriculum mandates. Teacher training standards, employer obligations, and AI-specific enforcement mechanisms are not specified. EU alignment is aspirational at this stage.
