The programmes in the German recovery and resilience plan (GRRP / Deutscher Aufbau- und Resili-enzplan) dedicated to the digitization are providing a budget of approximately 13.3 billion euros offered as grants and divided into shorter or longer available calls and IPCEIs (Important programmes of common European interest), which generally have a very short period of expression of interest, the basis of an application. The minimum quota for investment in digitization of 20%, which is set by the EU, is massively overachieved with a quota of 52% and is spanning into many programmes.
The second and third focal points of the DARP are explicitly dedicated to digitalization. In addition, 2 of the 3 IPCEIs of the DARP are located in the area of digitization. Currently, the new IPCEI (Next Gene-ration of Cloud Infrastructure and Services – IPCEI-CIS) is in preparation and its expression of interest procedure will start in the next few days (beginning of July). It can be seen as a sign of importance for this issue, that the word digitalization is mentioned 685 times in the DARP.
The GRRP has the following goals regarding digitalisation:
Several open calls are available since the beginning of 2021. Some calls are already closed. Below, you can find the most importantly open and closed calls regarding digitalization:

These open/closed calls are part of the German recovery and resilience plan (GRRP/DARP) and are located and under the rule of following :
According to the Approval of the Commission, the components support addressing the Country Specific Recommendations on investments:
At the same time, it isn’t expected that any measure in the DARP does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).
