Financing IT in future
Digital projects in a different light or what is the future of public investment in the ICT industry in Slovakia after 2021? It is clear that support for investment from EU funds under shared management has a declining tendency. On the other hand, the EU also offers other opportunities to finance the IT industry and digital transformation projects through the so-called directly-managed programs. As an example could be served the Digital Europe Program, which supports the strengthening of Europe's capacity in high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and advanced digital skills, or the Connecting Europe Facility 2021-2027, which promotes investment in transport, energy and digital infrastructure.
