The latest quarterly figures for the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)-funded Digital Service Infrastructure (DSIs), including Building Blocks, show that their adoption continued to increase in Q2 2019.
To build a Digital Single Market in Europe, the CEF programme supports a set of generic and reusable Digital Service Infrastructures (DSI), also known as Building Blocks. Currently, there are eight Building Blocks: Big Data Test Infrastructure, Context Broker, Archiving, eDelivery, eID, eInvoicing, eSignature and eTranslation. Blockchain and the Once Only Principle are also on their way to becoming CEF Building Blocks. Some DSI are specific to certain sectors, such as eHealth or eJustice.
