As Horizon 2020 draws to an end, the European Union (EU) aims to increase funding in sustainable infrastructure and the digitisation of Europe<\/a>. The maritime sector is set to receive a large portion of this funding due to the plethora of sustainable opportunities it offers. As part of this funding revolution, the Union will be introducing NextGenerationEU<\/a>, a new recovery instrument, worth \u20ac750bn, is embedded within a powerful, modern, and revamped long-term EU budget.<\/p>\n European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said: \u201c30% of NextGenerationEU and our Multiannual Financial Framework will be spent on climate-related projects. If we get it right, I believe NextGenerationEU can be one of the largest stimulus for investment and reforms anywhere in the world \u2013 investing in roll-out of 5G, in grid infrastructure, in AI and industrial digitisation, in renewables, sustainable transport, energy-efficient buildings<\/a>, you name it. This is how we fight climate change and modernise! This stimulus will also support much needed structural reforms to make us more resilient.\u201d<\/p>\nWhat maritime projects are the EU looking to fund?<\/h3>\n
