NextGenerationEU: for a stronger, more resilient Europe
NextGenerationEU is boosting Europe’s economy and making our societies stronger and more resilient, delivering tangible results for Europeans through its many projects. As the largest ever stimulus package undertaken in the EU, it is leading by example and setting the blueprint for a new growth model based on a clean, innovative and inclusive economy and digital and tech sovereignty.
- By investing in healthcare, NextGenerationEU is contributing to a fairer, more caring society, equipped for the challenges that lie ahead.
- By supporting education and skills, it is helping prepare our workforce for new opportunities in a tech-driven world.
- By assisting our SMEs and young entrepreneurs, it is also nurturing innovation, creating jobs and spurring future growth.
By investing in Europe’s future, together we can ‘Make it Real’
With loans and grants provided to Member States through the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), NextGenerationEU has been investing in a series of critical areas. These include:
- The green transition
- Digital transformation
- Social and territorial cohesion
- Policies for the next generation
- Smart, sustainable and inclusive growth
- Health and economic, social and institutional resilience
Across Europe, many NextGenerationEU-funded initiatives have already been completed, with others still underway. To monitor each country’s progress in implementing the projects outlined in their national Recovery and Resilience Plans , take a look at our Recovery and Resilience Scoreboard.

The European Commission has launched several communication campaigns to promote NextGenerationEU’s benefits. In January 2025 – with many projects already complete or in progress – the Commission launched a new EU-wide campaign across Member States. It focuses on improved strength and resilience in the areas of education and skills, business and healthcare in particular.
Since February 2024, many local campaigns have been taking place to show to citizens the positive impact that NextGenerationEU-funded projects have had on local communities.
Together, we have shown that when Europe is bold, it gets things done. And our work is far from over, so let's stand together. Let's deliver today and prepare for tomorrow.
