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:

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
