Today, the Commission has adopted the second Work Programme for the digital part of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Digital, which defines the scope and objectives of EU-funded actions to improve Europe's digital connectivity infrastructures. These actions will receive around €865 million of funding from 2024 to 2027.

Improving Europe's connectivity infrastructure is fundamental for achieving Europe's 2030 Digital Decade objectives to connect all citizens and business with 5G and gigabit connectivity. By fostering public and private investments, CEF Digital contributes to connectivity projects of common EU interest and to the deployment of safe, secure and sustainable high-performance infrastructure, such as Gigabit and 5G networks, across the EU.
