ICT Policy Support Programme
07.07.2010
Ensuring the best use and uptake of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by EU citizens, businesses and administrations is one the key objectives of the i2010 strategic framework. The ICT Policy Support Programme (ICT PSP) under the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP) aims at stimulating innovation and competitiveness through the wider uptake and best use of ICT by citizens, governments and businesses, particularly Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. The ICT policy support programme will help overcome the hurdles hindering the wider and better use of ICT in high growth sectors of public interest like health, inclusion or public administrations. Hurdles include the unavailability of innovative ICT-based services, the lack of interoperability of solutions across the Member States, as well as the fragmentation of relevant ICT-based products and services markets. |
