About ITEA
ITEA is the EUREKA Cluster programme supporting innovative, industry-driven, pre-competitive R&D projects in the area of Software-intensive Systems & Services (SiSS). SiSS are a key driver of innovation in Europe’s most competitive industries, such as automotive, communications, healthcare, aerospace and consumer electronics. Our vision
There is a wide consensus that from now to 2030 ch
ange and disruption will be permanent features in society, with the way of living and doing business becoming fundamentally different from what it is today. In 2030 the world population will reach the magic number of 8 billion people, only 23% of whom will live in Europe and the Americas, so it is important to adopt a global view. In positive terms, this development should be seen as ‘8 billion opportunities’. Digital Technology, encompassing the notions of hardware, software, IT services, internal IT and embedded software, has a major role to play in mastering the changes. For Europe, an industry strong in software innovation is a prerequisite for maintaining global competitiveness and in securing high-value jobs in Digital Technology and in other, more traditional industries that are dependent on Digital Technology. Our mission
ITEA stimulates the creation of an open community of R&D actors, companies, research institutes and countries active in Software-intensive Systems and Services (SISS). As ITEA is a EUREKA Cluster, the community is founded in Europe based on the EUREKA principles and is open to participants worldwide. ITEA’s mission is to be the recognised partner for European industry, optimising support for companies and R&D actors active in ITEA projects in the area of SISS, thus making best use of funding made available by the ITEA supporting countries.
