Key Digital Technologies – Joint Undertaking

Innosuisse is promoting international innovation projects in the open-topic initiatives EUREKA and Eurostars, in thematic initiatives of the EU partnerships, with companies and research institutions from strategic partner countries (bilateral cooperations), and will help you find the right partner with the Enterprise Europe Network.
The KDT calls 2021 aim at the reinforcement of the industrial competitiveness, by supporting the growth of existing partnerships and/or fostering new partnerships on technologies that already are at a higher technology readiness level. Research and Innovation Actions (RIA) and Innovation Actions (IA) essentially differ by the technology readiness level. Projects selected should demonstrate high impact, Europe wide collaboration with a mixed participation of large enterprises, SMEs and academia. Expected outputs are novel technologies, pilot lines, large scale demonstrators, and platforms for innovative product developments.
