Europe’s digital transformation by 2030 relies on providing citizens with access to a gigabit connectivity and 5G services. The European Broadband Awards highlight projects leading us into the Europe digital decade. All projects advanced in implementation, big or small, rural or urban, private or public, local, regional, national or multi-country, and covering all technologies are welcome to apply for the awards.

The European Broadband Awards is suspended for 2024, this allowing a crucial reflection moment to get ready for its relaunch with a revamped approach. The European Broadband Awards is expected to restart with a new approach in 2025. Further info on the new EBA edition will be communicate on this webpage in due time.
