The Digital Europe Programme

Digital Europe (2021–2027) accelerates the adoption of advanced digital technologies across Europe to strengthen competitiveness and improve public services. With a budget of €7.5 billion, the programme invests in supercomputing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, advanced digital skills and the rollout of digital technologies.

Programme implementation and Danish reference group

Activities and funding are defined in multi-annual work programmes. The current work programme (2025–2027) is the last under Digital Europe, which is expected to be succeeded by the European Competitiveness Fund from 2028.

In Denmark, a national reference group helps identify strengths and opportunities and ensures broad participation from ministries, research institutions, businesses and industry organisations.

To learn more about the reference group or to become a member, please send an e-mail to digitaleurope@digst.dk.
