Mapping EU level funding instruments 2021-2027 to Digital Decade targets
2024 update
This technical report quantifies and analyses the parts of the EU’s long-term budget which have the potential to impact the Digital Decade targets and general objectives. In doing so, we first map five key funding instruments — Recovery and Resilience Facility, Cohesion Policy, Horizon Europe, Digital Europe Programme and Connecting Europe Facility-Digital — onto each Digital Decade target. Results of this exercise indicate that, out of the EUR 957 billion planned in total across these funding instruments, EUR 177 billion could potentially impact the domains related to the Digital Decade targets and EUR 27 billion for its general objectives. The digitalisation of businesses and of public services are the main cardinal points of focus, receiving 64% of the total mapped budget with potential to impact Digital Decade targets. The online provision of key public services and the basic digitalisation of small and medium enterprises are the two targets that receive the largest allocations. We also find that the allocation by Digital Decade target is homogeneous across countries with a few, interesting exceptions. From our findings, we conclude that the fund distribution seems balanced, with the exception of some targets that receive little specific attention, like edge nodes, electronic identification or quantum computing.
