During her annual State of the European Union address on September 10, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that the Commission will present a Single Market roadmap extending to 2028. This roadmap aims to tackle long-standing barriers in various sectors, including telecommunications.
Telecommunications is a strategic sector for Europe’s digital sovereignty, economic competitiveness, and societal resilience. Recognizing its importance, the EU has already committed considerable resources towards advancing research and innovation in this field.
The European Union funds a range of projects related to telecommunications, including initiatives focused on 5G and 6G networks, AI-driven networks, and quantum communications. These projects are supported through major programmes such as Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, and Eureka clusters.
Below is a list of some current grant opportunities available in this strategic sector:
