Infoday - GenAI Meets Public Administrations

Infoday - GenAI Meets Public Administrations

As part of the European Commission’s Apply AI Strategy, a new call for proposals under the Digital Europe Programme 2025-2027 will be launched in April 2025 to fund up to four Generative AI (GenAI) pilot projects for Public Administrations.

The call has a total budget of €21 million (€57 million per project). The call was advertised on ERRIN news regarding the publication of Digital Europe Programme and is already uploaded on the project development tool here.

This Infoday aims to provide an in-depth presentation of the GenAI Pilots call, outlining its objectives, requirements and expected outcomes. It will also facilitate networking between public administrations interested in similar use-cases, integrators and other stakeholders to support the creation of project consortia.

Participants will then have the opportunity to present their needs or how they envisaged the use of GenAI solutions in PA or express interest in macro areas/sectors through structured pitching sessions, and interactive discussions. To further support collaboration, an online matchmaking tool will be made available, helping public administrations and other stakeholders connect based on shared interests and needs.

Dedicated session for 'Apply AI Strategy - Workshop for public sector'

The event is also the occasion to participate to a dedicated workshop dedicated to the public sector.
