EC: CEF programme to support and catalyse investments in digital connectivity infrastructures

The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF2) Digital programme aims to support and catalyse investments in digital connectivity infrastructures of common interest during the period 2021-2027. To stimulate further the ongoing discussions and exchanges of ideas on the future implementation of the programme, the European Commission is publishing a non-paper setting out possible orientations and general implementation guidelines.

Europe can fully reap the benefits of the digital transformation if high-quality access to Gigabit networks is made available to all people, businesses and “socioeconomic drivers” such as schools, universities, hospitals, transport hubs and public administrations.

CEF2 Digital will deliver important contributions to the Union’s strategic connectivity objectives as well as to the President Von der Leyen’s policy goals, specifically: “A Europe fit for the digital age”, “A European Green Deal” and “An economy that works for people”.
