- Review shows strong SME interest and government backing for ICT to assist the elderly
-
(16 December 2010) The European Commission today presented a report on the progress of the Ambient Assisted Living joint programme (AAL JP) which highlights very high levels of involvement by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in projects, strong levels of financial support by participating countries and recommendations to ensure ongoing positive results. This €600 million research and development funding programme involves 23 countries and the EU to improve the quality of life of senior citizens through smart ICT-based solutions. The report is addressed to the European Parliament and Council of Ministers and is an important step to reinforce the AAL JP, one of the key actions of the Digital Agenda for Europe. The AAL JP can make an important contribution to the forthcoming pilot European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing.

- Getting in early: New opportunities to access ICT Research and Innovation

How early can you go in as an investor in start-up ICT businesses and what are the risk and benefits? Over 2000 ICT R&D projects are supported by the European Commission through its 7th R&D ICT framework programme, with a budget of €9.1bn. The ICT framework covers a wide range of different ICT areas. Yet of all these R&D projects supported by EU finance only a small number go on to commercialise the results and successfully spin out a viable business and go on to attract finance and capitalize on the EC investment, meaning that many potentially very exciting new technologies, products and services never get to the market place- and never get to the equity community. Learn why investors should invest in ICT R&D projects at early stage.
