EBRD adopts new Digital Approach
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has published its Digital Approach 2026-30, setting out how it will harness digital technology to accelerate transition across its regions during the next period of the Strategic and Capital Framework(SCF).
The new Approach builds on the architecture established in the previous SCF, centred on three pillars: (i) strengthening the foundations of the digital economy; (ii) supporting digital adaptation across sectors; and (iii) promoting innovation.
These pillars are complemented by a cross-cutting focus on cybersecurity, reflecting its growing importance for the resilience of increasingly digitalised economies.
The overarching objective of the new framework is to use digitalisation to enhance productivity, competitiveness and resilience across the EBRD’s countries of operation. By embedding digital technology more deeply into economic activity, the Bank is supporting the development of modern, efficient and inclusive market economies.
To achieve this, the Bank will prioritise four areas:
The EBRD adopted its first Digital Approach in 2022. Since then, it has financed more than 220 projects with a digital component, including through its Go Digital programme and through technical assistance under its Digital Transformation Support and Cybersecurity Resilience programmes. It has also provided more than 3,200 advisory services to support the digitalisation of small and medium-sized enterprises.
