Description
The dataset contains estimated data on planned EU level public investment geared towards facilitating the digital transformation. The data offers estimations of the EU level funding supporting the achievement of the Digital Decade targets, broken down by target and, when data is available, by EU Member State. For each funding instrument covered, the dataset offers information on: a) total funding; b) digital tracker and digital funding: the percentage (and amount) of total funding considered contributing to digital objectives; c) DD share and DD funding: the percentage (and amount) of digital funding considered as relevant to support Digital Decade targets for each funding instrument and DD target; d) DD summary by Member State (when available).
The EU funding instruments considered are: Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF); Cohesion Policy 2021-2027); Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL) —considering its main Work Programmes 2021-25, Cybersecurity Work Programmes 2021-25, and EDIH Work Programme 2021-2023—; Horizon Europe (HE) —comprising the 2021-2025 work programmes, HE European Innovation Council (EIC) calls 2021-22—; Connecting Europe Facility – Digital (CEF2 Digital);
and four joint undertakings (JUs), considered within their respective funding instruments (DIGITAL, HE or CEF-Digital).

Abstract
This report updates the data and findings of Signorelli et al. (2024) regarding the EU’s long-term budget with potential to affect the Digital Decade (DD) targets and objectives. We provide updated data and figures on the 5 main Funding Instruments – Recovery and Resilience Facility, Cohesion Policy, Horizon Europe, Digital Europe Programme and Connecting Europe Facility-Digital. We estimate a DD-target related budget of around €177 bn and a budget funding Digital Decade general objectives of €29.5 bn out of a total budget of €973 bn. As in the previous exercise, the targets that receive the largest amount of budget are the digitalisation of public services and businesses, which receive around 64% of the total mapped budget with potential to impact Digital Decade targets. At Member State level, we find that Spain, Italy and Greece are the countries that receive the largest RRF and CP budget in per capita terms, while the distribution of budget across targets is homogeneous across countries, with a strong focus on the digitalisation of public services
