The initial budget of the WiFi4EU scheme is EUR 120 million between 2017-2019. It will support the installation of state-of-the-art Wi-Fi equipment in the centres of community life.
Who will benefit?
All Europeans
The WiFi4EU scheme will be disbursed in a geographically balanced manner, so that high-speed connections can benefit both residents and visitors of thousands of local communities across the EU.
At least 6,000 to 8,000 local communities
Up to 40-50 million connections per day
Entities with a public mission
The WiFi4EU scheme will be open to entities with a public mission ? typically local municipalities, libraries, health centres, etc. It will fund the equipment and installation costs (internet access points), while the local entity will pay for the connectivity (internet subscription) and maintenance in good order of the equipment.
The local authorities will be encouraged to develop and promote their own digital services in areas such as e-government, e-health and e-tourism.

How to apply for WiFi4EU?
The WiFi4EU scheme will be delivered through simple and non-bureaucratic procedures such as online applications, payments by vouchers and light-touch monitoring requirements.
As soon as the WiFi4EU scheme is approved by the European Parliament and Council of Ministers, the first call for projects will be launched. The projects will be selected on a first-come, first-serve basis. Projects applying to the scheme should propose to equip areas where a public or a private Wi-Fi offering similar characteristics does not already exist.
