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

10 December 2010
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.

Health spending absorbs a significant and growing share of resources and all EU Member States face strong and growing pressures on their health systems. The health sector in Europe is also a major employer and a source of innovation and hence supports jobs and knowledge creation.
