Pandemic threatens lost decade for global development

Digital Europe Programme is ready to support technology in crucial areas such as artificial intelligence, supercomputing and cybersecurity. The EU’s new Digital Europe Programme will boost the digital transformation by providing funding for rolling out cutting-edge technology in crucial areas such as artificial intelligence, supercomputing and cybersecurity. With a sizeable budget of €7 588 million, the programme will run for the period 2021-2027, starting retroactively from 1 January.

Artificial Intelligence, Supercomputing and Cybersecurity

The Digital Europe Programme will fund projects in five areas, each with its own indicative budget:

  • high-performance computing: €2 226 914 000
  • Artificial Intelligence: €2 061 956 000
  • Cybersecurity and trust: €1 649 566 000
  • advanced digital skills: €577 347 000
  • deployment, best use of digital capacities, and interoperability: €1 072 217 000

Digital Europe will be complementary to a number of other programmes supporting the digital transformation, such as Horizon Europe, which focuses on research and technological development, and the digital aspects of the Connecting Europe Facility. In addition, under the new Recovery and Resilience Facility regulation, the national recovery and resilience plans have to allocate at least 20% of expenditure to the digital transition.

Final approval procedure

Council’s vote, taken by written procedure, means that the Council has adopted its position at first reading. The legal act now needs to be adopted by the European Parliament at second reading before being published in the EU Official Journal. The regulation will enter into force on the day of its publication.

Leading up to the formal adoption, a provisional agreement was reached between the Council presidency and the European Parliament on 14 December 2020. The agreed text was endorsed by the Council’s Permanent Representatives Committee on 18 December 2020. The Council adopted the programme and the final approval will follow at the European Parliament.
