The Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL) funds the deployment of digital capacity rather than research. With more than €8.1 billion for 2021-2027, it covers supercomputing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, advanced digital skills and the wide use of digital technologies across the economy and public services, including the network of European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) that support SMEs and public administrations.
Calls are published on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal with codes starting DIGITAL-. Several bodies run them: HaDEA and the Commission for most topics, the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre for cybersecurity, the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking for supercomputing and the Chips Joint Undertaking for semiconductor topics. The 10th set of calls closed on 1 October 2026.
For a company, DIGITAL matters in three ways: as a consortium partner in deployment projects, through services from EDIHs and AI testing facilities, and through cascade funding that some DIGITAL projects pass on to SMEs. EUACC has dedicated pages for its AI, cybersecurity and chips strands.
DIGITAL is not an R&D grant: proposals must deploy something that already works and usually need consortia and co-funding.
Search the Funding & Tenders Portal for open DIGITAL- topics in your area (AI, cyber, skills, deployment).
Check the topic's eligibility restrictions, type of action and funding rate.
Build a consortium, or contact your local European Digital Innovation Hub for services and partners.
Submit before the topic deadline; results usually arrive about five months later.
