The European Commission has approved the 2025-2027 Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL) work program, allocating €1.3 billion to advance key technologies essential for the EU’s future and technological sovereignty.
DIGITAL is an EU funding initiative designed to bring digital technology closer to businesses, citizens, and public administrations. Digital technology is essential for communication, work, science, and tackling environmental challenges.
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted Europe’s reliance on external systems, while Russia’s war against Ukraine exposed vulnerabilities in digital supply chains. To ensure security and self-sufficiency, the EU must invest in cybersecurity and strengthen its digital infrastructure.
