On 17 October 2024, the European Commission and the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) are hosting the first Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Digital community event.

About the event

This event will bring together all projects funded by the CEF Digital programme, along with key players from across the connectivity sector. The goal is to share experiences, identify collaboration opportunities, strengthen partnerships, and help ensure the programme has a strong impact on achieving policy goals.

Why should you join

Participants will engage in discussions and idea exchanges, offering fresh perspectives on future connectivity policies and investments, as outlined in the White Paper. The morning session will focus on presenting the shared goals of the projects and identifying potential synergies for the future. In the afternoon, the focus will shift to exploring financing options for connectivity infrastructure.
