Horizon 2020 and ICT: New R&D European strategies for the benefit of SMEs
The document discusses Horizon 2020 and ICT strategies and funding opportunities for SMEs in Europe. It introduces the Ideal-ist project which supports SMEs in finding partners for EU-funded ICT projects. Ideal-ist provides a partner search tool that has helped many SMEs successfully submit proposals. The document outlines funding priorities and opportunities for ICT under Horizon 2020, including support for industrial leadership, enabling technologies, societal challenges, and more. It encourages SMEs to use Ideal-ist and NCP services to learn about calls, find partners, and receive guidance on participating in Horizon 2020
