Summary
Andorra’s Secretary of State for Digital Transformation and Telecommunications expanded the Business Digitalization Programme (PDE) for 2025 to include a dedicated grant line for AI implementation. The total 2025 PDE budget reaches €700,000, combining an initial €500,000 allocation with an additional €200,000 approved mid-year. Grants are available to businesses for adopting AI tools and digitalization solutions.
Key details
The programme is administered by Andorra Digital SA, the public company responsible for the country’s digital transformation, and coordinated with the Data Intelligence Agency. The PDE is the primary government-funded mechanism for supporting adoption of new technologies including AI in the private sector.
Separately, Andorra outperforms the European average in 19 of 29 comparable Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) indicators, but AI and data exploitation lag: only 21% of businesses analyse data and 29% use AI, prompting the government to shift focus from infrastructure to intensive technology adoption.
Scoring relevance
Dimension 13 — Government-funded grants for AI adoption are available to businesses, constituting partial public funding for AI literacy resources. The PDE is a state programme but targets businesses rather than the general population; it meets the threshold for a score of 1 (partial, targeted).
