dumimar Wed, 06/17/2026 - 09:43 This report presents the progress of selected multi-country projects (MCPs) and European Digital Infrastructure Consortia (EDICs) between May 2025 and May 2026. The areas of activity for multi-country projects remained stable in this period. This allowed EU countries and the European Commission to advance on many large-scale projects developing the EU’s technological capacities in these sectors. Main developments European Digital Infrastructure Consortia (EDICs) Two new European Digital Infrastructure Consortia (EDICs) have been set up, namely the Digital Commons EDIC and the Innovative Massive Public Administration interConnected Transformation Services EDIC (IMPACTS-EDIC). Member States have submitted applications to the Commission to set up two more EDICs, namely the Cybersecurity Skills Coalition EDIC (CSC EDIC) and the EDIC for Agrifood. Further EDICs are currently in preparation, and more initiatives are under consideration for becoming EDICs. The first Annual EDIC Gathering took place in November 2025 with a broad participation of Member States representatives and EDICs, with a focus on common challenges and strategic discussion about the future development of the EDIC ecosystem. Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) The IPCEI on Microelectronics and Communication Technologies (IPCEI-ME/CT) and the IPCEI on Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure and Services (IPCEI-CIS), approved mid and late 2023, are now fully operational. On 22 July 2025, the European Commission approved the IPCEI Tech4Cure with the cooperation of 5 Member States. Joing Undertakings (JUs) The Chips Joint Undertaking and the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking are progressing further to deliver on their expanded tasks and objectives.
