This video highlights how the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Digital programme is accelerating the deployment of next-generation connectivity across Europe, supporting projects in areas where market forces alone could not deliver. Through investments in advanced 5G infrastructure, the programme is helping to bring ultra-fast, reliable and low-latency networks to communities across the EU.
Since its launch, CEF Digital has supported 78 projects across 25 Member States with €327 million in grants, with the majority based on 5G standalone networks. These projects are enabling innovative digital solutions in sectors such as healthcare, education, public safety, agriculture, energy and transport, improving citizens’ quality of life while creating replicable models for future initiatives.
Beyond infrastructure deployment, CEF Digital has fostered a growing ecosystem of stakeholders, encouraging collaboration between local actors, public authorities and industry, and strengthening capacity for future digital innovation.
Discover how CEF Digital-funded projects are powering transformative technologies and bringing the benefits of connectivity to all, across Europe.
