1. Introduction 

This  report  looks  at  selected  multi-country  projects  (MCPs)  and  European  Digital  Infrastructure 
Consortia (EDICs) in terms of progress made between May 2025 and May 2026. As background, we 
first outline the basic concepts linked to MCPs and EDICs, as spelled out in the Decision establishing 
the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030 (‘the DDPP Decision’)1.  

Governance structure for multi-country collaboration  

The Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030 (‘the DDPP’) translates the vision of a digitally enabled 
society into a specific set of targets for the deployment of strategic digital capabilities. At the same 
time, the DDPP establishes a governance structure to enhance collaboration between the EU and 
its Member States, including in terms of identifying weaknesses and proposing common solutions. 
MCPs are large-scale projects financed by the EU and the Member States that will help achieve the 
digital targets set out in Article 4 of the DDPP Decision. MCPs are one of the building blocks of the 
governance  structure,  providing  a  tool  to  drive  collective  investment  efforts  in  the  high-priority 
areas outlined in the Annex to the DDPP Decision. 

The purpose of MCPs is to: 

· 
· 
· 
· 
· 

enable large-scale projects that no single Member State could develop on its own; 
pool resources to achieve economies of scale and increase impact; 
help reduce the digital divide between Member States; 
support an interconnected, interoperable and secure Digital Single Market; 
implement flagship initiatives that require cooperation between Member States.

European common data infrastructure and services; 
endowing the Union with the next generation of low-power trusted processors; 
developing the pan-European deployment of 5G corridors; 
acquiring  supercomputers  and  quantum  computers,  connected  with  European  high-
performance computing (EuroHPC); 
developing  and  deploying  ultra-secure  quantum  and  space-based  communication 
infrastructures; 
deploying a network of security operations centres; 
connected public administration; 
European blockchain services infrastructure; 
European digital innovation hubs (EDIHs); 
high-tech partnerships for digital skills; 
skills and training in cybersecurity; 
other projects which meet all the requirements set out in Article 11 and which become 
necessary to achieve the general objectives of the DDPP; 
enable large-scale projects that no single Member State could develop on its own; 
pool resources to achieve economies of scale and increase impact; 
help reduce the digital divide between Member States; 
support an interconnected, interoperable and secure Digital Single Market; 
implement flagship initiatives for which cooperation among Member States is important. 

Instruments through which MCPs can be implemented, under Article 11 of the DDPP Decision, 
are Joint Undertakings (JUs), European Research Infrastructure Consortia (ERICs), EU agencies, 
Important  Projects  of  Common  European  Interest  (IPCEIs)  and  independent  Member  State 
actions.  Since  the  DDPP  was  adopted,  collaboration  between  the  Member  States  and  the 
Commission has been stepped up through European Digital Infrastructure Consortia (EDICs), an 
implementing  mechanism  introduced  by  the  DDPP.  Among  the  advantages  of  this  legal 
instrument are a rapid and flexible set-up and a Member State taking the lead role in setting it up 
and operating the EDIC. 

This report shows that the MCPs’ areas of activity remained stable in the past year, allowing Member 
States  and  the  Commission  to  concentrate  on  the  many  large-scale  projects  already  ongoing  to 
advance technological capabilities in those areas. The main new developments since May 2025 are the 
following initiatives with significant digital elements: 

· 

· 

Two new EDICs have been set up: the Digital Commons EDIC and the Innovative Massive Public 
Administration  interConnected  Transformation  Services  European  Digital  Infrastructure 
Consortium (IMPACTS-EDIC). 
Three EDICs established in 2024, the Alliance for Language Technologies EDIC, the Local Digital 
Twins  towards  the  CitiVERSE  EDIC,  and  the  EUROPEUM-EDIC  have  grown  in  size,  become 
stable and are delivering their first results. 

3 

 
 
 
 
·  Member States have submitted applications to set up two more EDICs, the Cybersecurity Skills 
Coalition  (CSC)  EDIC  and  the  EDIC  for  Agrifood.  Further  EDICs  are  being  prepared  and 
initiatives to set up new EDICS are being considered. 
Two IPCEIs are now fully operational: the Microelectronics and Communication Technologies 
(IPCEI-ME/CT),  approved  in  mid-2023,  and  the  Next  Generation  Cloud  Infrastructure  and 
Services (IPCEI-CIS), approved in late 2023. 

· 

·  On  22 July  2025,  the  Commission  approved  a  second  health-related  IPCEI,  the  Tech4Cure 
IPCEI. A total of 10 companies from five Member States (France, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia and 
Slovenia) are participating with 10 projects that have substantial digital elements. The IPCEI 
will  support  cross-border  research  and  innovation  and  the  first  industry  deployment  of 
medical devices with advanced and novel digital/AI solutions for predictive, preventive, and 
personalised  medicine  (‘3P  medicine’).  The  five  Member  States  will  provide  up  to 
EUR 403 million  in  public  funding  in  the  coming  years,  which  is  expected  to  unlock  an 
additional EUR 826 million in private investments. 
The following candidate IPCEIs are currently in the design phase, where they are being shaped 
and  prepared  for  pre-notification  by  the  participating  Member  States:  on  Advanced 
Semiconductor Technologies, Artificial Intelligence and Compute Infrastructure Continuum.  
The Joint European Forum for IPCEI (JEF-IPCEI) has set up an identification working group for 
a potential future IPCEI on Clean Connected Autonomous Vehicles. 
The  Chips  JU  and  the  EuroHPC  JU  are  making  good  progress  towards  delivering  on  their 
expanded objectives. 

· 

· 

· 

Apart from these individual projects and infrastructures, efforts have also been invested in 
developing the EDIC ecosystem. The first annual EDIC gathering took place in November 2025 with 
close to 100 participants. It aimed to harness synergies, support the exchange of knowledge, help 
identify solutions to common challenges and facilitate a strategic discussion among the stakeholders 
about the future of EDICs. The minutes of the annual EDIC gathering and the recording of the first 
day of the event are available on the event webpage.

2. Existing European Digital Infrastructure Consortia (EDICs) 

2.1  Alliance for Language Technologies European Digital Infrastructure 

Consortium (ALT-EDIC) 

The  Alliance  for  Language  Technologies  EDIC  (ALT-EDIC)  was  established  by  the  Commission  on  7 
February 2024 through Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/458. 

ALT-EDIC  is  chaired  by  France  and  currently  brings  together  17  Member  States  as  full  members: 
Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, 
Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia and Spain; also, the Region of Flanders became a full 
member in March 2025. Nine other Member States participate as observers: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, 
Estonia, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and Sweden. Iceland is also an observer country. Bulgaria 
expressed its intention to join as an observer.  

ALT-EDIC helps achieve the objectives of the European Data Strategy by pooling Member States’ efforts 
to collect, share and combine national language datasets, including through crowdsourcing initiatives. 
It  supports  the  development  and  deployment  of  advanced  multilingual  language  technologies  by 
making available and allowing the reuse of high-quality multilingual data. In parallel, the Commission 
is  making  available  high-quality  language  data  from  the  EU  institutions,  covering  all  official  EU 

5 

 
 
 
 
languages.  Together,  these  efforts  help  boost  Europe’s  technological  competitiveness  while 
safeguarding its linguistic diversity and cultural richness. 

Soon after it had become fully operational in January 2025, ALT-EDIC launched into its activities, a key 
pillar of which is to coordinate or participate in several large-scale projects funded under the Digital 
Europe Programme. These projects collectively aim to build a coherent European language technology 
ecosystem, spanning the full value chain from data to models, infrastructure and deployment. They 
include: 

• 

•  ALT-EDIC4EU, which  focuses on  setting up  core infrastructure, including a European centre  for 
evaluating  language  technologies,  mapping  the  LT  landscape  and  organising  capacity-building 
activities such as training and workshops; 
LLMs4EU, which supports high-quality dataset collection, model fine-tuning, and the provision of 
tools and services for SMEs and other stakeholders; 
LLM-BRIDGE, which aims to strengthen European generative AI ecosystems by supporting start-
ups and scale-ups that develop and deploy LLM-based solutions and their investors; 

• 

•  OpenEuroLLM,  a  flagship  initiative  that  brings  together  leading  research  organisations  and 
EuroHPC  centres  with  the  aim  of  developing  high-performance,  multilingual  and  open  large 
language models with a strong focus on transparency, compliance and accessibility. 

ALT-EDIC is also set to play a key role in the governance and long-term sustainability of the European 
Language  Data  Space  (LDS),  developed  under  the  Digital  Europe  Programme.  The  LDS  enables  the 
secure exchange and monetisation of language data in line with EU rules. Preparations are underway 
to transfer the LDS to ALT-EDIC by the end of the current contract (Q1 2027), ensuring continuity and 
sustainability of the platform. 

In  addition,  ALT-EDIC  will  facilitate  access  for  SMEs,  public  administrations,  academia  and  NGOs, 
among other European stakeholders, to AI-based multilingual services developed by the Commission. 
These include tools for automatic translation, speech transcription, anonymisation and other language 
processing capabilities, supporting the uptake of language technologies across Europe. 

The EDIC can be contacted here. 

2.2.  European Digital Infrastructure Consortium for Networked Local Digital 

Twins towards the CitiVERSE (LDT CitiVERSE EDIC)  

The Local Digital Twins – CitiVERSE EDIC was established on 7 February 2024 by Commission 
Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/459. 

The founding Member States were initially Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, France, Latvia, Portugal, Slovenia 
and Spain. Belgium, Luxembourg and Slovakia also joined the original notification and are considered 
founding Member States. The constituent assembly was held on 12 December 2024 at the seat of this 
EDIC (Valencia, Spain), where three new Member States (Italy, the Netherlands and Ireland) joined. 
The  legal  establishment  process  finished  in  March  2025.  As  of  May  2026,  15  Member  States  are 
members: Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, France, Germany (joined February 2026), Ireland, Italy, 
Latvia, Luxembourg, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and the Netherlands.

The Director was appointed in November 2025, and the management team is fully operational. The 
EDIC can be contacted here. The Local Digital Twins – CitiVERSE EDIC aims to build a shared European 
digital  infrastructure  and  ecosystem  to  speed  up  the  adoption  of  interoperable  and  reusable  local 
digital twins, making cities and communities across Europe more liveable and sustainable. It supports 
the Commission’s priorities for the digital and green transitions and contributes to initiatives such as 
the New European Bauhaus. 

The EDIC connects current local digital twins and helps Member States and their cities pool resources 
for joint digital infrastructures, advanced digital services, best practices, and user-driven applications. 
A key goal is to ensure the sustainability and scalability of infrastructures and applications funded by 
the  Digital  Europe  Programme,  thereby  supporting  the  digital  transformation  of  cities  and  regions 
while securing European values and digital sovereignty. 

The strategic priorities of Local Digital Twins – CitiVERSE EDIC include providing a common European 
infrastructure and toolbox for local digital twins, implementing an EU architecture blueprint for smart 
community  data  spaces,  and,  based  on  practice,  validating  interoperable,  robust,  AI-based  smart 
community solutions in real-life city ‘sandboxes’. 

2.3.  European Digital Infrastructure Consortium for European Blockchain 

Partnership and European Blockchain Service Infrastructure (EUROPEUM-
EDIC) 

The  European  Blockchain  Partnership  and  European  Blockchain  Services  Infrastructure  EDIC 
(EUROPEUM-EDIC)  was  created  on  21 May  2024  by  Commission  Implementing  Decision  (EU) 
2024/1432,  with  nine  members  (representing  Belgium,  Croatia,  Cyprus,  Italy,  Greece,  Luxembourg, 
Portugal,  Romania  and  Slovenia).  Poland  joined  shortly  afterwards  and  Spain  joined  in  early  2025, 
increasing the number of members to 11. Sweden has indicated its intention to join as a member, as 
have some other Member States, and more countries could join at a later stage. The EDIC is seated in 
Brussels, Belgium. 

EUROPEUM-EDIC was set up to establish and operate the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure 
(EBSI)  with  the  aim of  delivering  EU-wide cross-border  services  in  areas  of  public  interest.  Beyond 
supporting  the  EBSI  MCP,  EUROPEUM-EDIC  fosters  cross-border  cooperation  between  public 
authorities  on  decentralised  technologies.  It  also  aims  to  ensure  interoperability  between  other 
solutions  and  technologies  (including  blockchain  protocols,  smart  contracts,  and  applications)  and 
create better conditions for innovation across the EU. 

The Director started their mandate in October 2025, with a Chief Technology Officer and a wider team 
also  in  place  by  the  last  quarter  of  2025.  EBSI  quickly  became  operational  and  had  been  fully 
transferred (from the Commission to EUROPEUM) by the end of the first quarter of 2026. The EBSI 
production phase is scheduled to start as of the second quarter of 2026. The objective is now to move 
from  pilots  to  actual  implementation  in  use  cases  concerning,  among  others, EUROPEUM  member 
countries and the EU institutions. 

The EDIC can be contacted here.

2.4.  European Digital Infrastructure Consortium for Digital Commons (DC-

EDIC) 

The Digital Commons EDIC was created on 29 October 2025 by Commission Implementing Decision 
(EU) 2025/2170, with five Member States, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, 
as members. Finland, and the Region of Flanders, have joined as observers and Denmark, Finland and 
Poland are interested in obtaining this status. The EDIC is seated in Paris, France. 

The Digital Commons EDIC aims to build a European community around digital commons by boosting 
public  funding  and  facilitating  access  to  funding,  supporting  development  and  scale-up,  and 
participating in digital commons projects. It seeks to act as a one-stop shop for stakeholders such as 
open-source communities and developers, serve as an incubator for strategic digital commons, and 
accelerate  joint  projects  such  as  the  European  digital  workplace.  Through  collaborative  and  open 
governance  models,  the  DC-EDIC  also  supports  the  development  and  scaling  of  reusable  digital 
solutions  and  common  digital  infrastructures  that  can  strengthen  interoperability,  resilience  and 
cooperation across Member States. 

The EDIC’s specific objectives include: (i) acting as a one-stop shop for various stakeholders such as 
open  source  communities,  developers  and  adopters  and  promoting  the  use  of  open  source  digital 
solutions;  (ii)  becoming  an  incubator  for  the  development  and  maintenance  of  strategic  digital 
commons; and (iii) accelerating the roll-out and implementation of joint projects such as the European 
digital workplace (based on France and Germany’s Open Desk / La Suite Numérique). 

The Digital Commons EDIC aims to contribute to the following MCP areas of activity spelled out in the 
Annex to the DDPP Decision: (i) European common data infrastructure and services; and (ii) connected 
public  administration.  It  will  also  help  achieve  general  objectives  of  the  DDPP  (Article 3)  such  as 
promoting a human-centred, inclusive, transparent, secure and open digital environment and ensuring 
digital sovereignty. The EDIC will create synergies with the European Digital Innovation Hubs. 

2.5.  European Digital Infrastructure Consortium for Innovative Massive Public 
Administration interConnected Transformation Services (IMPACTS-EDIC) 

IMPACTS-EDIC  was  created  on  2 December  2025  by  Commission  Implementing  Decision  (EU) 
2025/2414,  with  six  Member  States  (Greece,  Croatia,  Hungary,  the  Netherlands,  Poland  and 
Luxembourg) as members, together with Ukraine. Belgium, Cyprus, Germany, Italy, Moldova, Norway, 
Romania and Slovenia are observers. 

IMPACTS-EDIC intends to develop reusable, digital solutions for public administrations that will help 
implement EU policies and that can be further disseminated through the Interoperable Europe Board 
(governance body established by the Interoperable Europe Act). In addition, IMPACTS-EDIC aims to 
help  meet  the  priorities  of  the  Interoperable  Europe  Agenda  by  providing  solutions  and  taking 
implementing actions in line with the annual strategic roadmap. Furthermore, it focuses on creating 
innovative public services, enabling cross-border cooperation, and reducing administrative barriers for 
the public and businesses. IMPACTS-EDIC also contributes to the Connected Public Administration MCP 
area of activity. 

8 

 
 
 
 
Several IMPACTS-EDIC workstreams aim to help create innovative public services and new reusable 
interoperable solutions, exploiting the following current EU and national initiatives: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the European Trans-border Information Architecture (BOARD-IA); 

the data analytics platform for public administrations in the EU; 

the platform for the co-creation of cross-border public services; 

the regulatory sandbox for data exchange between Member States; 

the  EU  Digital  Identity  Wallet  (EUDIW),  a  secure,  personalised  and  user-controlled  tool 
enabling people to prove their identity, share documents, and sign digitally; 

the secure and interoperable cross-border network for the exchange of data; 

’zero-distance  public  administration’,  aiming  to ensure  that  the  public  and  businesses  have 
access  to  the  public  services  and  the  information  they  need  with  minimal  administrative 
barriers and delays, regardless of location.

3. European Digital Infrastructure Consortia (EDICs) in the 

making 

3.1. Progress towards setting up the Cybersecurity Skills Coalition EDIC (CSC-
EDIC) 

In early 2026 a formal application to set up a Cybersecurity Skills Coalition EDIC was submitted by five 
Member States that would join as members: Greece, Cyprus, Austria, Croatia, and Slovenia. Poland 
and the Czech Republic would join as observers. The application is currently under evaluation. 

The CSC-EDIC aims to address the cybersecurity skills gap across Member States to strengthen the EU’s 
competitiveness,  growth,  and  resilience.  It  should  support  key  organisations  like  the  European 
Commission,  ENISA,  and  the  European  Cybersecurity  Competence  Centre  in  implementing  the 
Cybersecurity  Skills  Academy  initiative.  The  EDIC  intends  to  focus  on  upskilling  and  reskilling 
professionals,  particularly  within  SMEs  and  public  administrations.  The  CSC-EDIC  intends  to  help 
develop competencies that  align with emerging market  needs, focusing on cybersecurity skills that 
meet the requirements of recently adopted EU legislation and initiatives, including the NIS2 Directive, 
the  Cyber  Resilience  Act  and  the  European  Action  Plan  on  the  Cybersecurity  of  Hospitals  and 
Healthcare providers. 

This commitment is set out in the Communication of the Commission to the European Parliament and 
the  Council  ‘Closing  the  cybersecurity  talent  gap  to  boost  the  EU’s  competitiveness,  growth,  and 
resilience’ (‘The Cybersecurity Skills Academy’)2.  

3.2. Progress towards setting up the EDIC for Agri-Food  

In early 2026 a formal application to set up an EDIC for Agri-Food was submitted by eight Member 
States that would join as members: France, Austria, Finland, Croatia, Italy, Netherlands, Romania and 
Slovenia, as well as the Region of Flanders. Three Member States, Germany, Spain and Ireland, would 
join as observers. The application is currently under evaluation. 

The Agri-Food EDIC aims to leverage digital and data technologies to reduce administrative burdens in 
the  agri-food  sector,  enhance  competitiveness  and  sustainability,  and  improve  data  sharing  and 
availability, including for AI. A key focus is the implementation of a digital Farm ID aligned with the EU 
Digital Identity and business wallets systems to simplify B2B and B2G data exchanges, especially across 
borders, while harnessing AI capabilities and fostering AI deployment in multi-country settings. The 
EDIC plans to build on existing and upcoming assets, such as the Common European Agricultural Data 
Space.  

The Agri-Food EDIC will contribute to the European common data infrastructure and services MCP area 
of activity, spelled out in the Decision establishing the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030.

3.3. Progress towards setting up the Genome EDIC 
On 31 March 2023, the special group of national representatives on the 1+ Million Genomes initiative 
endorsed, as their preferred  approach,  creating an EDIC to run the future  European Genomic Data 
Infrastructure (GDI). 

The 1+ Million Genomes (1+MG) initiative aims to create a European GDI to enable secure access to 
genomics  and  related  clinical  data  across  Europe.  The  goal  is  to  support  research,  personalised 
healthcare, and health policymaking. The Genome EDIC would ensure the sustainable operation of the 
GDI, governed by agreed data governance and mandates laid down by Member States, contributing to 
the European common data infrastructure and services MCP area. 

In  June  2023,  nine  Member  States  (Belgium,  Bulgaria,  Croatia,  Czechia,  Denmark,  Estonia,  Finland, 
Luxembourg and Spain) put forward an initial draft of EDIC application, with Luxembourg offering to 
host the EDIC. The governmental group on the GDI project, made up of representatives of more than 
20 Member States, acts as the EDIC informal working group. Besides reflecting on the requirements 
and  features  of  a  future  EDIC,  the  group  has  been  working  on  the  data  governance  and  legal 
arrangements for the European GDI and its alignment with the European Health Data Space. In March 
2024, the working group set up a task force that started work on the EDIC application; Luxembourg, 
France, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and Czechia signed an initial letter of intent to join. In February 2026 
the task force finalised the application package. On that basis, all Member States were invited to join 
the EDIC as founding members and the process of collecting endorsements began. The application is 
expected to be submitted in the second quarter of 2026, allowing the EDIC, subject to the positive 
assessment by the Commission, to be set up by the end of 2026. 

3.4. Progress towards setting up the Cancer Image Europe (EUCAIM) EDIC  
The  Cancer  Image  Europe  platform3,  established  under  the  EUCAIM  project  funded  by  the  Digital 
Europe Programme,  is  part  of  the  European Cancer  Imaging  Initiative.  It  is  intended  to  be  a  cross-
border,  interoperable,  and  secure  infrastructure  making  large  amounts  of  cancer  image  data  and 
associated clinical information available to clinicians, researchers and innovators. Moreover, it will be 
involved in developing, benchmarking, testing and piloting innovative AI-based tools for personalised 
cancer diagnosis and treatment. In 2025, the Cancer Image Europe Infrastructure transitioned from its 
initial deployment phase to a more production-ready ecosystem. Operational from 2026, it now offers 
a growing public catalogue of more than 80 medical imaging datasets, across nine cancer types. It also 
provides over 35 preprocessing tools, a federated analysis toolbox and an execution manager enabling 
distributed training of AI algorithms. The platform is being further enhanced through the EU4Health 
BreastScan and UNICA projects. Establishing an EDIC would ensure the sustainable operation and long-
term viability of the Cancer Image Europe data infrastructure when the EUCAIM project has ended, 
also enabling the platform to be brought into line with the European Health Data Space regulatory 
framework. 

The working group on EUCAIM EDIC was set up on 3 August 2023. As of January 2026, Spain, France, 
Italy, Latvia, Czechia, Sweden, Poland, Cyprus, Estonia, Malta, Luxembourg and Hungary participate 
through officially  appointed  representatives.  Portugal,  Lithuania,  the  Netherlands,  Norway,  Croatia, 
Greece, Germany and Belgium participate as observers or are represented by institutions participating 
in the EUCAIM project. Spain is the coordinating country and Valencia has been proposed as the EDIC’s

seat. EUCAIM EDIC would seek to contribute to the European common data infrastructure and services 
MCP area of activity spelled out in the DDPP Decision. An informal pre-notification of the EDIC was 
submitted to the Commission on 21 January 2025 by Spain, France and Latvia. 

3.5. Progress towards setting up the EDIC for Mobility and Logistics (EDIC M&L) 
In June 2023, the Netherlands, Finland and Germany submitted a pre-notification for a Mobility and 
Logistics Data EDIC, later renamed EDIC for Mobility and Logistics (EDIC M&L). 

The EDIC M&L would aim to help effectively implement the European common data infrastructure and 
services, an MCP area of activity spelled out in the DDPP Decision, focusing in particular on mobility 
and  transport.  It  would  seek  to  boost  the  application  of  data  and  AI-driven  innovations  by: 
(i) supporting the coordinated application of cross-border use cases (e.g. freight visibility in multimodal 
logistics  chains,  traffic  management);  and  (ii)  encouraging  Member  States  and  key  actors  to  share 
knowledge  and  to  coordinate  and  draw  up  collective  agreements  as  a  basis  for  sustainable  digital 
infrastructure for mobility and logistics. 

The core group of six Member States (Germany, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden) is 
expected to submit a formal application to set up the EDIC M&L in the second or third quarter of 2026. 
At this stage, Germany is expected to host the EDIC. 

3.6. Possible set-up of the Europe Startup Nations Alliance (ESNA) EDIC 
The  EU  Startup  Nations  Standard  (EU  SNS)  initiative  was  launched  in  March  2021  to  encourage 
Member States to put in place the best possible framework conditions and regulatory environment for 
start-ups. Eight relevant policy areas (or ‘standards of excellence’), where Member States act within 
their national powers, are set  out in the political declaration  on EU SNS3 signed in March 2021 by 
ministers from 27 countries (all Member States except Hungary and Iceland). To move from political 
aspirations to an operational reality, a legal entity – the Europe Startup Nations Alliance (ESNA) – was 
established in December 2021 under Portuguese law. 

ESNA  is  a  first-of-a-kind  approach,  driven  by  Member  States,  towards  creating  a  better  regulatory 
framework  for  start-ups.  ESNA  has  a  full-time  management  board  and  has  received  funding  of 
EUR 8.5 million  for  its  first  four  years  of  operation.  To  date,  21  of  the  27  signatory  countries  have 
completed the formal process for joining ESNA. These countries not only account for 86% of the EU’s 
GDP and 93% of its population, but are also home to 82% of its unicorns. In addition, Ukraine joined 
ESNA in 2024 with non-voting rights. 

At the end of 2024, ESNA secured a grant of EUR 1 million from Horizon Europe  to help it scale up 
operations and prepare for being converted into an EDIC. If set up, the EDIC would be well-positioned 
to contribute to MCP areas of other projects referred to in point (l) of the Annex to the DDPP Decision. 

During  2025  the  ESNA leadership has been working on the statutes of  a  future EDIC,  and a  formal 
application to set up ESNA EDIC is expected in the second or third quarter of 2026. 

3.7. Early-stage initiatives 

EBRAINS EDIC 

12 

 
 
 
EBRAINS  is  a  European  distributed  digital  research  infrastructure  created  by  the  EU’s  Human  Brain 
Project. It aims to promote and speed up advances in neuroscience, brain health research and neuro-
inspired technology, including next-generation AI. 

EBRAINS provides the scientific community with curated brain data, multilevel brain atlases, simulation 
and modelling tools  and medical data analytics platforms. It also  gives  access to high-performance 
computing  resources,  large-scale  data  storage  and  neuromorphic  systems,  all  tailored  to  support 
neuroscience. It operates through a network of National Nodes in 12 countries, with nine full member 
institutions and 34 associate members. 

EBRAINS is positioned to become the platform for the European Brain Data Space, aligned with the 
European Health Data Space, with the aim of bridging basic and clinical brain research. It seeks to make 
collaborative digital neuroscience a pillar of scientific research, helping reproducible brain science to 
become the norm. Moreover, the infrastructure’s Innovation and Technology transfer hub will facilitate 
a dialogue between EBRAINS and relevant industrial players, entrepreneurs and capital investors. 

Currently,  EBRAINS  is  actively  building  a  founding  coalition  of  EU  Member  States  with  the  aim  of 
submitting  an  application  to  become  an  EDIC.  Its  current  funding  model  mainly  relies  on  two 
consecutive  Horizon  Europe  grants,  of  EUR 38  and  EUR 32  million  respectively,  covering  research 
infrastructure  operations  and  further  developments  till  the  end  of  2029.  As  for  the  future,  its 
infrastructure  sustainability  model  will  be  based  on  four  complementary  streams:  Member  State 
contributions to the EDIC, EU grants via Framework Programme participation, AISBL membership fees, 
and industry revenue. 

Health TEF EDIC 

TEF-Health  offers  potential  clients  a  catalogue  of  services,  including  access  to  physical  and  virtual 
infrastructure for conducting testing activities; access to health data in a regulatory-compliant manner; 
support  for  clinical  trials;  business  development  support  and  market  positioning;  scientific  and 
technological expertise; and ethics and regulatory compliance services. 

The  project  is  conducted  by  a  consortium  led  by  Charité  University  Medicine  Berlin,  composed  of 
52 public  and  private  organisations  from  nine  Member  States,  including  certifiers,  standardisation 
authorities,  university  hospitals  and  research  organisations.  TEF-Health  is  looking  to  develop  a 
sustainability model that will allow it to a) ensure the continuity of investments; b) provide continuity 
of service delivery; c) provide the necessary guarantees of professionalism and service quality; and 
d) update its portfolio to take account of changes in the target market (developers of AI services for 
health care), the regulatory environment, and national and EU strategies. Such sustainability issues 
can only be addressed by founding an autonomous legal entity, potentially an EDIC.

4. Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEIs) 

4.1. Potential IPCEI candidates in the area of digital 
Based  on  work  conducted  by  the  JEF-IPCEI  since  2023  to  identify  potential  IPCEI  candidates,  eight 
candidates have entered the design phase with the support of the IPCEI Design Support Hub. Of these, 
three are in the field of digital: 

• 

• 

IPCEI-AI: this IPCEI in the area of artificial intelligence would seek to develop next-generation 
AI technologies for data processing and orchestration, sovereign AI foundation models and 
sector-specific  foundations  models  offering  a  range  of  innovative  AI  capabilities  and  thus 
strengthening AI sovereignty and facilitating access for EU industry innovative and sovereign 
AI capabilities 
IPCEI-CIC: this IPCEI in the area of computing infrastructure would seek to deploy the next 
generation of sovereign, federated and distributed computing infrastructure as a necessary 
for  the  deployment  and  uptake  of  technologies,  including  but  not  limited  to  AI,  in  the 
European Digital Single Market.  

14 

 
 
 
• 

IPCEI-AST: this IPCEI in the area of advanced semiconductor technologies would seek to create 
a novel European ecosystem of highly innovative semiconductor technologies able to meet 
EU 
industry’s  most  strategic  requirements  while  at  the  same  time  boosting  EU 
competitiveness and resilience. 

The  JEF-IPCEI  continues  its  work  to  identify  potential  IPCEIs  in  the  area  of  clean,  connected  and 
autonomous vehicles. A new candidate IPCEI on Critical Raw Materials entered into the design phase 
in May 2026.  

4.2. Approved IPCEIs in the area of digital 
4.2.1 IPCEI Innovative medical devices and support software (Tech4Cure) 
In July 2025, the Commission approved the Tech4Cure IPCEI, which had been prepared and notified by 
five Member States: France, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia and Slovenia. A total of 10 companies from these 
countries are participating in the IPCEI with 10 projects. The IPCEI will support cross-border research 
and  innovation  and  the  first  industry  deployment  of  medical  devices  with  advanced  and  novel 
digital/AI solutions to support predictive, preventive, and personalised medicine (‘3P medicine’). The 
five Member States will provide up to EUR 403 million in public funding in the coming years, which is 
expected to unlock an additional EUR 826 million in private investments. 

IPCEI Tech4Cure aims to address emerging healthcare challenges and meet the evolving demands and 
needs of healthcare providers and patients, focusing in particular on the development and validation 
of medical devices in support of 3P medicine. It will promote innovative medical devices that put major 
medical and technical advancements to practical use, while at the same time ensuring improved access 
to health care. According to the participating Member States, the results achieved by IPCEI Tech4Cure 
have  the  potential  to  sustainably  improve  the  quality,  safety  and  effectiveness  of  treatments  for 
patients.  IPCEI Tech4Cure  also  contributes  to  the  EU’s  digital  strategy  by  supporting  the  green  and 
digital  twin  transition.  In  particular,  there  are  several  projects  focusing  on  digital  solutions  for  3P 
medicine:  connected  devices,  online  platforms,  software,  IoT,  data  collection  and  use,  and  AI 
development. Data use and AI could help develop tailored solutions for patients in terms of prediction, 
prevention and personalisation of treatments and diagnostics. IPCEI Tech4Cure will  also enable the 
European medical devices sector to embrace the crucial shift towards digitalisation, ultimately offering 
better  health  outcomes.  Moreover,  the  support  will  help  firms  guarantee  compliance  with  data 
protection and its fair use for patients and customers. The IPCEI will also contribute to the European 
Action  Plan  on  the  Cybersecurity  of  Hospitals  and  Healthcare  Providers  by  ensuring  that  digital 
solutions in the medical sector, developed through this IPCEI, will include suitable security measures 
to fend off cyber-risks.  

4.2.2 IPCEI on Microelectronics and Communication Technologies (IPCEI-ME/CT) 
In June 2023, the Commission approved the IPCEI-ME/CT, which had been jointly prepared and notified 
by 14 Member States (Austria, Czechia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, the 
Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Spain). The IPCEI currently covers 57 projects out of an 
initial 68 (after some projects have been withdrawn and others finished early), involving 47 companies 
that cooperate closely with more than 30 associated companies, including from other Member States 
(Belgium,  Hungary,  Latvia,  Portugal  and  Slovenia)  and  Norway.  In  total,  20  European  countries  are 
involved.  In  addition,  around  600  indirect  partners,  companies  and  organisations  benefit  from  its 
dissemination  activities  through  collaboration  agreements  with  one  or  more  direct  IPCEI-ME/CT 
participants. 

15 

 
 
IPCEI-ME/CT is now fully operational. Participants meet at the annual general assembly, most recently 
in  November  2025,  a  key  event  allowing  them  to  discuss  technical  aspects  and  report  on  activity, 
dissemination, and networking. Reporting to the Commission on current activities takes place on an 
ongoing basis. The next general assembly is scheduled for November 2026 in Malta. 

Member States will disburse around EUR 7 billion in public funding, which is expected to unlock an 
additional EUR 12 billion in private investments. 

IPCEI-ME/CT  works  on  research  and  development  projects  covering  microelectronics  and 
communication technologies across the whole value chain from materials and tools to chip design and 
manufacturing  processes.  Its  projects  seek  to  come  up  with  innovative  microelectronics  and 
communication solutions and develop energy-efficient and resource-saving electronics systems and 
manufacturing methods to enable the digital and green transitions. They contribute to technological 
advancement  in  many  sectors,  including  communications,  autonomous  driving,  AI  and  quantum 
computing. 

4.2.3. IPCEI on Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure and Services (IPCEI-CIS) 
In December 2023, the Commission approved the IPCEI on Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure and 
Services (IPCEI-CIS) under State aid rules. The initiative  had been jointly notified by seven Member 
States (France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain). 

The participating countries will support the initiative with up to EUR 1.2 billion in public funding to 
enable the implementation of 19 highly innovative projects. On top of this, the initiative is expected 
to attract EUR 1.4 billion in private investments. IPCEI-CIS has already launched around 120 projects 
across Europe. 

Beyond  IPCEI-CIS’s  direct  participants,  the  wider  IPCEI-CIS  ecosystem  includes  over  90  indirect 
partners, including large, medium and small businesses, start-ups, and research institutions from five 
more EU Member States (Belgium, Croatia, Latvia, Luxembourg, and Slovenia). 

IPCEI-CIS  is  the  first  IPCEI  in  the  cloud  and  edge  computing  domain.  It  is  developing  the  first 
interoperable  and  open  European  data  processing  ecosystem,  the  multi-provider  cloud-to-edge 
continuum. It will develop data processing capabilities and software and data sharing tools that enable 
federated, energy-efficient and trustworthy cloud and edge-distributed data processing technologies 
and related services. IPCEI-CIS innovations will open up a wide new range of possibilities for European 
businesses and the public, helping to advance the digital and green transitions in Europe. 

Results achieved by IPCEI-CIS are building blocks of the 8ra initiative, a long-term umbrella framework 
designed to ensure that European cloud-edge innovations have a broader impact beyond any single 
programme. It does so by fostering take-up, continuity and collaboration across industry, research and 
policy stakeholders. The official release of the first version of the IPCEI-CIS Reference Architecture, a 
common  blueprint  for  stakeholders across  countries and  sectors  designed to  enable  interoperable, 
scalable  digital  services,  was  a  major  milestone  for  the  8ra  initiative  that  will  lay  the  technical 
foundation for a trustworthy cloud-edge continuum in Europe. 

IPCEI-CIS will be key to drive the adoption of the technology necessary to achieve two of the Digital 
Decade’s targets: (i) 75% of EU companies using cloud, AI or big data; and (ii) 10 000 climate-neutral, 
highly secure edge nodes deployed across Europe by 2030. 

16 

 
 
4.2.4. IPCEI in Microelectronics (IPCEI-ME) – completed 
The first IPCEI in the area of microelectronics was approved in December 2018, with 32 participants 
from  five  countries:  Germany,  France,  Italy,  the  United  Kingdom,  and  (from  July  2019)  Austria.  Its 
overall  approved  State-aid  funding  came  to  around EUR 1.9 billion,  in  addition  to  EUR 6.5 billion  in 
private investments. With 43 projects from five countries collaborating across five technological areas, 
ICPEI-ME  successfully  supported  research,  innovation,  development  and  first  industry  deployment 
projects of its direct participants. The participating companies were also able to secure existing jobs, 
create new jobs and carry out numerous spillover activities at EU level. A number of the Member States 
and companies that participated in IPCEI-ME are now involved in IPCEI-ME/CT. 

IPCEI-ME was selected for the first pilot evaluation to assess IPCEI outputs and impact in the long term. 
The assessment is being carried out by the JEF-IPCEI with the help of the Joint Research Centre and 
the results are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.

5. Joint Undertakings 

5.1. Chips Joint Undertaking (former Key Digital Technologies (KDT) JU)  
The Chips JU was set up under Council Regulation (EU) 2021/2085, as amended by Council Regulation 
(EU)  2023/1782.  It  started  operations  on  21 September  2023,  the  date  on  which  the  EU  Chips  Act 
entered into force. Before the amendment Regulation entered into force, the Chips JU’s predecessor, 
the  Key  Digital  Technologies  JU  (KDT  JU),  extensively  supported  industrially-driven  research, 
technology development, and innovation in the area of electronic components and systems. The scope 
of the new Chips JU was extended to allow it to meet the following objectives of the Chips for Europe 
Initiative under the Chips Act: (i) set up a chips design platform; (ii) enhance existing advanced pilot 
lines and develop new ones; (iii) build capacity to accelerate the development of quantum chips and 
associated semiconductor technologies; and (iv) establish a network of competence centres across the 
EU. 

The  Chips  JU  is  a  tripartite  partnership  made  up  of  the  Commission  (representing  the  EU),  the 
participating States (Member States and countries associated with Horizon Europe and/or the Digital 
Europe  Programme),  and  private  members,  i.e.  the  three  industry  associations  Aeneas,  Inside  and 
EPoSS. The JU receives funding from Horizon Europe (up to EUR 2.725 billion) and the Digital Europe 
Programme  (up  to  EUR 1.450  billion).  The  participating  States  match  this  amount,  and  the  private 
members have committed to contribute at least EUR 2.5 billion. 

In 2025 the Chips JU continued, in the framework of the Chips for Europe Initiative, to implement the 
five pilot lines selected in 2024, which receive EU funding of EUR 1.85 billion from the Horizon Europe 
and Digital Europe programmes, matched by funding from the participating States. The pilot lines focus 
on five key areas: (i) beyond 2 nm leading-edge system-on-chip; (ii) fully depleted silicon-on-insulator 
applications;  (iii)  advanced  packaging;  (iv)  wide-band  gap  materials;  and  (v)  photonic  integrated 
circuits. Additionally, six framework partnership agreements have been signed for pilot lines focusing 
on  quantum  chip  technology.  These  are  expected  to  be  implemented  through  specific  grant 
agreements providing EUR 150 million in funding and a matching amount from the participating States. 

There  are  plans  to  develop  a  cloud-based  design  platform  to  strengthen the European  chip  design 
ecosystem.  A  platform  coordination  team  has  been  selected  to  host  the  design  platform’s  virtual 
infrastructure and central services, coordinating access to a wide range of tools, assets and services, 
and  to  help  the  Chips  JU  procure  a  cloud  platform.  In  2025,  nine  design  enablement  teams  were 
selected to help users set up and customise design environments and flows, and to deploy Electronic 
Design  Automation  tools  on  the  cloud.  In  addition,  a  call  was  launched  for  financial  and  technical 
support  for  fabless  start-ups.  A  European  network  of  competence  centres  in  semiconductors, 
consisting of 30 competence centres and a coordination action across all Member States and Norway, 
also received EU funding of around EUR 100 million, matched by the participating States. Finally, six 
quantum chip pilots were selected in 2025, with six different technology platforms. 

The  Chips  JU  also  continues  to  support  R&D  collaborative  projects  in  electronic  components  and 
systems funded by Horizon Europe. Beyond the general open Innovation Action (IA) and Research and 
Innovation Action (RIA) calls under the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda, there have been 
calls to support: (i) automotive hardware and software-defined vehicles; and (ii) semiconductor R&I 
cooperation between the EU and Japan. These topics, among others, were backed by total EU funding 
of EUR 231 million in 2025, supplemented by funding from the participating States and industry. 

18 

 
 
The Chips JU’s role will be key to achieve the Chips Act’s objectives, in particular that of bridging the 
gap between research, innovation and production to enable the commercialisation of innovative ideas. 

5.2. European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC) 
The EuroHPC JU  promotes  MCP initiatives  in the  area of supercomputing,  artificial intelligence and 
quantum  computing.  It  develops,  deploys  and  maintains  a  federated,  secure,  and  hyper-connected 
supercomputing,  quantum  computing,  service  and  data  infrastructure  that  makes  the  EU  a  world 
leader  in  this  field.  The  EuroHPC  JU  enables  Member  States  to  coordinate  their  supercomputing 
strategies and pool their investments in supercomputers and quantum computers. This in turn allows 
them to  deliver  advanced services across Europe  to a wide range of  users, including  academic  and 
industrial users, SMEs and the public, through applications that will improve people’s everyday lives 
and help tackle the challenges facing the planet. This approach is necessary because purchasing and 
owning  supercomputers  and  quantum  computers  requires  high  levels  of  public  and  private 
investments. The estimated costs are as follows: 

•  Mid-range supercomputer – investment per system: EUR 30-50 million; 
•  High-end supercomputers – investment per system: EUR 150-500 million; 
•  Quantum computers (as stand-alone machines or supercomputer accelerators) – investment 

per machine: EUR 50-250 million. 

To date, the EuroHPC JU has procured 11 supercomputers located across Europe: (i) LUMI – Finland; 
(ii) Leonardo – Italy; (iii) MareNostrum 5 – Spain; (iv) MeluXina – Luxembourg; (v) Karolina – Czechia; 
(vi) Discoverer – Bulgaria; (vii) Vega – Slovenia; (viii) Deucalion – Portugal; (ix) Jupiter – Germany and, 
more recently, (x) Mimer in Sweden and (xi) Dedalus in Greece. Through EuroHPC Access Calls, these 
supercomputers  are  available  to  users  from  the  public  sector,  industry  or  academia  anywhere  in 
Europe. 

In 2024, the EuroHPC JU received a new mandate to develop and run AI factories. These will be centred 
around EuroHPC supercomputing facilities  and will support the  growth of a highly  competitive  and 
innovative AI ecosystem in Europe. 19 AI Factories and 13 AI Factory Antennas have been selected and 
are  gradually  becoming  operational  across  its  participating  States  (Member  States  and  associated 
countries). Interconnected AI Factories and Antennas will operate as a federated network  ensuring 
seamless  collaboration,  efficient  resource  sharing,  and  secure  cross-border  access,  strengthening 
Europe’s strategic autonomy in critical digital capabilities. AI Factories and AI Factory Antennas have 
mobilised  total  funding  of  EUR 2.6  billion  to  be  invested  in  European  AI  excellence  as  part  of  a 
sovereign, world-class AI and HPC ecosystem. This includes the procurement of 15 new EuroHPC AI-
optimised supercomputers plus one major upgrade, resulting in a five-fold increase in AI computing 
capacity. This network of public supercomputers will provide an open environment for AI researchers 
and  innovators  in  strategic  sectors  such  as  life  science,  manufacturing,  climate,  space,  finance, 
cybersecurity, agri-tech, culture, and more. 

In this context, in September 2025 the EU entered the exascale era with the launch of Jupiter, the first 
European  supercomputer  capable  of  performing  one  billion  calculations  per  second.  This 
supercomputer serves one of the selected AI Factories.  In November 2025, three EuroHPC systems 
ranked among the top 10 of the most performant supercomputers in the world.
