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:
Digital Europe AI, data & cloud

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.
NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic.
