Slovenian companies are lagging in adapting to changes brought about by digitalisation due to a lack of competences, skills and knowledge among employees and limited resources to invest in equipment and advanced digital technologies.

The digital transformation of the economy and the public sector is essential for the long-term development and competitiveness of the country and the European Union as a whole. With the aim of increasing the efficiency and resilience of the economy and public administration, the reforms and investments under the Recovery and Resilience Plan aim to strengthen and modernise digital infrastructure and support the development of advanced technology solutions.

The reforms and investments under the "Digital transformation of the economy" component aim to increase the efficiency and growth of businesses, support their transformation through digital technologies, and foster greater use of advanced technologies, while adapting the regulatory framework and improving market access, transparency, and security.

The integration of Slovenian companies in global value chains will be supported by participation in multi-country projects. 

Digital transformation of the economy (business and industry) – reform

The digital transformation of the economy will be supported by the entry into force of the strategy for the digital transformation of companies, guidelines for innovative public procurement and the operationalisation of a single digital identity (e-identity) for companies. In accordance with the strategy, registers will be transferred to a single business register and at least 200 companies will obtain an e-identity.

Industrial/Business digital transformation programme – investment

The investment aims to increase productivity and growth by optimising processes and introducing advanced digital technologies, developing the digital skills of employees, and fostering competitiveness and innovation by facilitating the entry of new players into the market.

Calls for tenders will be launched for specific projects to extend the use of advanced technologies to increase efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness and to accelerate the uptake of digital innovation and the transfer of digital competences.

Cross border and multi-country projects - European common data infrastructure and services – investment

The objectives of the multi-country project on European common data infrastructure and services are to develop and industrialise a new generation of low-cost, edge and cloud infrastructure and services, thereby ensuring that the EU has global, forward-looking, highly secure and green industrial data processing capabilities. This project may take the form of a planned Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) on next-generation cloud infrastructure and services.

Cross border and multi-country projects - Low-power processors and semiconductor chips – investment

The objectives of the multi-country project on low-power processors and semiconductor chips are to strengthen design capabilities and increase the resilience of the European and Slovenian semiconductor value chains, to link national and European processes for overlapping workflows, and to strengthen the microelectronics value chain. This project may take the form of a planned Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI).
