5G Community Survey: Public funding support for 5G roll-out in EU Member States | Shaping Europe's digital future
Based on survey responses from national Broadband Competence Offices (BCOs), interviews, and desk research, explore how EU Member States allocated over €2.4 billion in public funding to 5G roll-out from 2022–2024, with forward-looking plans for 2025–2027.
A new study by the 5G for Smart Communities (5GSC) Support Platform offers a detailed overview of the public funding support made available at national level across the EU-27 for 5G deployment. The research spans the 2022–2024 period, while also looking ahead to planned support schemes for 2025–2027. The study captures not only the current state of investment but also highlights best practices, use case trends, and national project repositories.
With Europe prioritising digital leadership and equitable connectivity, understanding public investment trends is vital for policy makers, industry leaders, and communities.
The 5G Community Survey was developed as part of the 5G for Smart Communities Support Platform efforts to help stakeholders stay informed about the latest developments and trends in 5G pilot projects across Europe, while also supporting the replication and scaling of these initiatives.
