About the programme
Special Objective 2 of Digital Europe aims to reinforce the EU’s core Artificial Intelligence (AI) capacities as a crucial driver for the digital transformation of businesses and public administrations. As data fuels the development of AI, Digital Europe also aims to set up sectoral European data spaces with the aim of achieving a European data economy in the future. Digital Europe will also facilitate safe access to and storage of large datasets and trustworthy and energy-efficient cloud infrastructure. In addition, Digital Europe will strengthen and support existing artificial intelligence testing and experimentation facilities in different sectors.
Three main interlinked work strands are foreseen in the first two years of implementation of the Digital Europe Programme:
