Official source: COM(2026) 502 final — Proposal for a Cloud and AI Development Act

(31)

The Cloud and AI Leadership Initiatives should enhance synergies with actions
            currently supported by the Union and Member States, including under Horizon Europe
            and the Digital Europe programme, as well as Council Regulation (EU) 2021/1173
            and Regulation (EU) 2026/XXX [Chips Act 2.0] on a framework of measures for
            strengthening Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem. The Commission and the Member
            States should ensure consistency, complementarity and synergies between the Cloud
            and AI Leadership Initiatives, and relevant national and regional strategies,
            programmes and investment plans, including those implemented under national reform
            programmes, smart specialisation strategies, recovery and resilience plans and other
            national or regional funding instruments supporting the objectives of the Cloud and AI
            Leadership Initiatives. Such coordination should aim to maximise the impact of public
            investments, avoid duplication of funding, promote alignment of priorities across
            governance levels, and facilitate the scaling-up and deployment of results across the
            Union.
