Eligible costs in the PNRR advanced digital technologies call

The PNRR advanced digital technologies call (EUR 500,000–3,000,000) is closed, and contracted projects are in implementation — the stage where every cost item must be delivered and proven.

Northdan Soft is a software supplier, not a funding consultancy, and is not affiliated with any managing authority or development agency. Programme information is indicative — always check the conditions in the programme's official applicant guide.

Projects financed on this call are no ordinary digitalizations: they involve artificial-intelligence solutions, cloud infrastructures, IoT networks, blockchain applications and cybersecurity systems, with budgets between EUR 500,000 and 3,000,000 under PNRR, Romania's Recovery and Resilience Plan. The technical complexity raises the bar at reimbursement too — an implementation report for an AI model looks nothing like the acceptance of a website. Northdan steps into this phase as a development vendor: we build the advanced components described in the funding application, integrate the systems and produce the technical documentation the authority expects at reimbursement. With the call closed, this page is not here to help you apply but to help you finish a project already under contract: what typically belongs in each cost category and what evidence attaches to each, in line with the guide's practice.

How we help

Real competence in the funded technologies

Our team actually develops AI solutions, cloud integrations and IoT applications — we do not merely resell licences, so we can technically defend every deliverable.

Technical reports written for evaluators

We describe the delivered architecture, the tests performed and the measurable results in a format the monitoring officer can verify point by point.

Integration with the company's existing systems

We connect the advanced components to the ERP, databases and workflows already in use, so the investment produces real effects, not just checked boxes in the project.

What this call's categories typically cover

Per the guide at launch, budgets typically included: developing and training artificial-intelligence solutions, cloud migrations and infrastructures, IoT sensors and platforms, blockchain-based applications and cybersecurity systems. Associated hardware and user training appeared as adjacent lines.

Each beneficiary has its own perimeter, though: eligible is what was approved in the funding application, with the specifications stated there. Technical deviations — a different algorithm, a different cloud platform, a different sensor count — are discussed with the authority before delivery, not after.

Documenting the reimbursement for advanced solutions

With AI or IoT solutions, an invoice alone says nothing — the authority wants to see that the system exists and works. Alongside delivery we therefore prepare: documented architecture, test logs, application screenshots, operating metrics and acceptance protocols signed at every stage.

Our advice to beneficiaries: do not leave documentation to the end. A three-million-euro project reconstructed from e-mails in the last month before the payment claim is the most frequent cause of reimbursement delays we see.

One figure travels between two programmes and the confusion is expensive: the 3,000,000 EUR ceiling here belongs to a call closed for submissions since 2024, while in POCIDIF Action 2.1 — open until 30 September 2026 — that amount is reserved for projects whose result is an innovative hardware product manufactured by the beneficiary, the software ceiling being 1,500,000 EUR. That route is not open to everyone who held a project on this call either: Action 2.1 requires the applicant to be an SME authorised on one of the nine ICT CAEN codes in the guide, developing its own product for the market.

Frequently asked questions

Which technologies did the PNRR advanced digital technologies call finance?

The call targeted artificial intelligence, cloud, IoT, blockchain and cybersecurity solutions, with grants between EUR 500,000 and 3,000,000. It is closed for new submissions; contracted projects are inside their implementation period.

How is an artificial-intelligence cost evidenced at reimbursement?

In practice, the invoice is accompanied by the solution's documentation: a description of the model and the data used, test results, screenshots or working demonstrations and the signed acceptance protocol. The exact requirements are set by the authority through the payment instructions.

Can I adjust the technical solution versus the approved funding application?

Technical changes are sometimes possible via notification or contract addendum, but only with the managing authority's agreement and before delivery. As a vendor, we document the proposed solution's functional equivalence to support your request.

Can Northdan take over just one component of the advanced project?

Yes — we frequently intervene on a single piece: only the AI module, only the IoT integration or only the security layer, with the rest staying with existing vendors. We define interfaces and responsibilities clearly so the reimbursement documents stay coherent.
