€204 million funding for projects boosting innovation in business digitalisation, digital skills, health, public and automotive sectors
The European Commission published calls for projects to award EU funds worth a total of just over €204 million to propel the deployment and take up of innovative digital technologies across Europe.
The nine calls under the Digital Europe Programme focus on unlocking the potential of AI and big data, the completion of the Network of European Digital Innovation Hubs, the roll out of the EU Digital Identity Wallet, innovation in the automotive sector, supporting digital skills, and rolling out digital solutions for the public sector.
A call worth €15 million to support the development of the European Digital Identity Wallet and mobile driving licences opens today, with eight more calls opening on 4 November. These eight calls will include: funding of €79.2 million for the consolidation and €8 million for the completion of the network of European Digital Innovation Hubs helping European businesses digitalise their operations; a €22.5 million boost to support biomedical research and the roll out of personalised healthcare through the European Genomic Data Infrastructure and €14.4 million for the deployment of AI-based solutions in medical imaging; funding of €9 million to support sharing of industrial data; a combined funding of €4.5 million to establish the secretariat and collaboration platform for the European Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Alliance to innovate in the European automotive sector; an investment of €6 million for the European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO) hubs to combat disinformation.
The publication of these calls follows the first amendment to the DIGITAL Work Programme 2025-2027, adopted earlier this week. It ensures the programme serves the political priorities of the Commission and responds to evolving technological developments.
More information on the calls and the application process is available on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal.
