About the programme
The Digital Europe Programme will help the EU achieve a high common level of cybersecurity. As more and more services move online, cybersecurity has become crucial to the digital world. Cybersecurity is also an economic opportunity: the global market for products and services grows by 15-20% annually.
The Digital Europe Programme will invest in building European cybersecurity infrastructures – the ‘cyber shield’ and promote the widespread deployment and take-up of state-of-the-art cybersecurity practices and equipment. The Commission aims to strengthen the EU’s digital sovereignty, which relies on the integrity and resilience of data infrastructure, networks and communications.
Most actions under DIGITAL’s cybersecurity section fall under a specific work programme for cybersecurity and will be managed by the future European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre that is being setup in Bucharest. This Centre will work in collaboration with a Network of National Coordination Centres to coordinate cybersecurity investments by the EU, Member States and industry.
