📋 Tender Overview
Along with the European Commissions third yearly Communication on the State of the Digital Decade, the Joint Research Centre published an updated analysis identifying how EU funding contributes to achieving the 2030 Digital Decade targets. Latest estimates predict that EUR 207 billion (21% of total analysed funds) will support digital objectives between 2021 and 2027. Of this, EUR 177.5 billion contributes directly to achieving the EUs Digital Decade targets.The analysis focuses on five main funding instruments: Recovery and Resilience Facility, Cohesion Policy, Horizon Europe, Digital Europe Programme, and Connecting Europe Facility-Digital. The JRC report confirms most of the trends identified in the past and provides additional details on how countries are receiving and spending such funds.The analysis shows that 27% of the Digital Decade target-relevant spending focuses on the digitalisation of public services - more than EUR 30 billion - and 37% on the digitalisation of businesses. The largest share of the budget has been allocated to the online provision of key public services, the uptake of digital technologies by firms (AI, Data Analytics, Cloud), and the basic digitalisation of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and innovative scale-ups.
