EU funding for digital technologies - Viva Technology 2025: presentation available

Viva Technology 2025 took place in Paris from 11 to 14 June 2025. On 13 June, HaDEA organised a workshop on "EU funding for Digital Technologies".

To harness the potential of the digital transition, the European Commission is making significant investments through the Horizon Europe and Digital Europe programmes.

These programmes support European projects that develop or deploy digital technologies, or create training initiatives to apply them across various sectors, including health, manufacturing, photonics, quantum computing, digital identity, and more.

To explain the available funding opportunities for research, innovation, and deployment projects in the digital field and showcase results of successful projects, the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) organised a workshop titled “EU Funding Opportunities for Digital Technologies.”
