Digital Europe Programme amended to accelerate the Commission’s digital ambitions

The European Commission has made the first amendment to the Digital Europe (DIGITAL) Work Programme 2025-2027 ensuring EU resources continue to support the Commission's ambitions on developing and deploying critical technologies in Europe.

In the final two years of the Work Programme, the amendment adjusts investment to the most recent political priorities of the Commission. Among the main changes, DIGITAL will now contribute to the landmark AI Gigafactories initiative, set to accelerate the development of cutting edge European AI models and core to the AI Continent Action Plan.

In addition, the amendment includes :

• Support to the European Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Alliance - part of the Industrial Action Plan for the European Automotive Sector plan
• More funds for the Network of European Digital Innovation Hubs in associated countries
• Increased support for the roll-out of EU Digital Identity Wallets in all Member States and implementation of mobile driving licences.
• Procurement of the Pan-European Investment Platform for Affordable Housing - supporting the European Affordable Housing Plan.
• Alignment with the forthcoming Democracy Shield Initiative and budget allocated to an upcoming call for the European Digital Media Observatory hubs to help step up the fight against disinformation.
