Digital Decade EU funding

The Digital Compass Communication (COM 118 final 2021) and the recently adopted Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030 (Decision (EU) 2022/2481) aim at accelerating the digital transformation of Europe by accelerating progress in key digital areas. Among the several objectives are to achieve open strategic autonomy, to promote a human-centred inclusive digital environment, to develop interoperable sustainable and efficient digital infrastructures, to increase trust and accessibility to online public services, and to empower European people and businesses. In this context, the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030 establishes a series of targets to meet by 2030. These targets are organised into four thematic cardinal points or strategic dimensions, which encompass the population’s digital skills, digital infrastructure (including connectivity), and the digitalisation of businesses and the public services. Finally, the Digital Decade Policy Programme seeks to secure the achievement of these targets by establishing a governance framework and fostering a cooperation mechanism between the European Union institutions and the Member States. A key element of the Digital Decade Policy Programme are the European Digital Infrastructure Consortia (EDICs). EDICs are Multi-Country Projects that will mobilise investments from the EU, Member States and the private sector towards key digital areas, facilitating the achievement of the general objectives and digital targets, but also promoting collaboration so that Member States embrace best practices and share their capabilities. A crucial aspect of this effort is the allocation of investments to support the digital transformation through different EU funding instruments, such as the Recovery and Resilience Facility. This collection provides information on several EU level funding instruments, spanning from 2014 to 2027. It offers detailed data output on the estimated total Digital Decade (DD)-relevant budget allocated by funding instrument and DD target (in € m) as well as allocation to each Member State whenever available. Additionally, this collection is accompanied by a series of three reports designed to support the monitoring and implementation of the Digital Decade Policy Programme.
