What is Eurostars?

The Eurostars Programme is a European Joint Programme dedicated to the R&D performing SMEs, and co-funded by the European Commission and 36 EUREKA member countries. Eurostars aims to stimulate these SMEs to lead international collaborative research and innovation projects by easing access to support and funding. It is fine-tuned to focus on the needs of SMEs, and specifically targets the development of new products, processes and services and the access to transnational and international markets. Eurostars projects are collaborative, meaning they must involve at least two participants (legal entities) from two different Eurostars participating countries. In addition, the main participant must be a research-performing SME. Please click here for more information.

The European Commission, together with the German Presidency and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, is proud to bring you "ICT 2020: Leading the Digital Age", taking place in Cologne, Germany.

It is hard to overstate the growing impact of data and digital technologies on everyday life of European citizens, governments, public authorities and industry.

The global coronavirus pandemic and the resulting public health emergency affected the whole of Europe. While preparing an adequate response to the economic impact and social consequences, Europe was able to count heavily on digital technologies, infrastructures and know-how to ensure business continuity.

In a time of reconstruction, the next decade should witness a Europe that strives for more prosperity building on its excellence in science and technology, at the forefront of innovation.

Europe will set the rhythm of global sustainable development, fighting climate change, underpinning transformation towards carbon-neutral industrial processes, preserving our planet’s ecosystems and offering opportunities to all.

This can only be realised if Europe takes a leading role in shaping the digital age. The European digital strategy will foster technological choice and industrial competitiveness across sectors to deliver the positive impacts to society.

Making Europe and Europeans “fit for the digital age” is a key policy priority for the new Commission. For that to happen Europe must invest in the creation of knowledge and its deployment stimulating innovation across domains.

At the start of a new EU MFF (2021-2027), ICT 2020 will present collaboration opportunities offered by Horizon Europe (HE) and the Digital Europe Programme (DEP).

ICT 2020 will host a high-level policy conference, an interactive exhibition of EU-funded projects in the field of ICT, numerous networking opportunities and much more! It is a unique occasion to bring together 5 000 researchers, innovators and engineers from all ICT fields, policy and business decision makers, as well as investors and venture capitalists.
