Digital solutions for regulatory compliance through data

Objective of the call

The growing complexity of EU regulatory reporting requirements creates significant challenges for both regulators and businesses. This call supports projects that test digital solutions for automated regulatory compliance, helping organisations streamline reporting processes and reduce administrative burden.

The action focuses on developing systems that automatically collect, transmit, analyse, and report data required under EU legislation (e.g. environmental, agricultural, healthcare, energy or manufacturing regulations). The goal is to enable real-time compliance and self-compliance checks with minimal manual intervention.

Projects will combine advanced technologies such as automated data capture, cloud infrastructure, APIs, encryption, and machine learning to ensure secure, scalable and efficient reporting. Where possible, solutions should rely on standardised European data models and enable direct communication with regulatory authorities for automated updates.

The integration of the EU Digital Identity Wallet and trusted services (e.g. electronic seals, ledgers) is encouraged to ensure secure identification and regulatory trust.

Scope of activities 

Funded activities should address the following key aspects:

Technical Development

• Automated data capture, transmission and analysis

• Real-time compliance checks via APIs

• Machine learning for monitoring and reporting

• Secure cloud storage and encryption

• Machine-readable regulatory requirements

• Direct digital interfaces with regulatory authorities

• Integration with common European data spaces

Security & Governance

• Strong data privacy and cybersecurity measures
