ITEA: 20 years of impact in Software Innovation!





In 2018, ITEA, the trans-national, innovative and industry-driven R&D programme, will mark its 20 years of impact in Software Innovation in Europe and beyond. ITEA was founded in 1998 as a Cluster programme of the intergovernmental Research &Innovation Network EUREKA and to this day is one of its most impactful instruments.

Impact is one of the main ambitions in ITEA; impact on business, on the market, on society. Many ITEA projects have achieved incredible results, like:

ITEA’s project impact is achieved by a community of close to 1600 partners from large industry, SMEs, universities, research institutes and user organisations in 32 countries worldwide. ITEA enabled these participating companies and innovators to develop new partnerships, to access new customers and markets and to develop new products and technologies.

Since the start of ITEA, in October 1998, 227 projects have run for a total effort of 27,000 person-years. ITEA projects are funded by national Public Authorities worldwide. Most of the ITEA project successes could not have been achieved without the (financial) support of these national Public Authorities, making it possible for the project partners to get the most out of it.

Throughout this special anniversary year, we will be celebrating ITEA project successes and the Community that made it all happen, and simultaneously, with the new trends arising from our new projects, designing a great and impactful future for the follow-up of ITEA.
