Unlock New Funding Opportunities with Digital Europe Program

The European Union recently launched the Digital Europe program, which focuses on improving critical digital capabilities.

Date: 18. 12. 2023

This initiative is divided into three work programs: Main Work Program, High Performance Computing and Cybersecurity. Each program is tailored to promote areas such as AI, data, cloud, digital transformation and cybersecurity and offers extensive funding and support.
