With a total budget of €33.71 billion, The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) is a key funding instrument of the European Union, whose aim is to promote growth, jobs, and competitiveness through infrastructure investment at the European level.

The programme is divided into three sectors:
Transport

Digital
Invests in digital connectivity infrastructures of common European interest
