Abstract: → The Digital Agenda for Europe (2010) set in motion the EU's focus on digital technologies for economic growth and prosperity, laying the foundation for a digital single market. → The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated digital transformation, boosting telework, e-learning, e-commerce, and AI adoption driven by data and computing power. → This Insight reports the key insights of a mod-elling analysis of €175 billion of digital in-vestment deployed through five EU funds. → The analysis suggests that digital investment can have sizeable macroeconomic gains in terms of GDP, net exports and productivity, with territorial heterogeneity that should be taken into account by policymakers when devising the interventions.
