WHY NOW ? UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT

Europe is becoming increasingly digital. Be one of the SMEs or startups shaping a Digital Europe.

In the context of the Digital Single Market, public administrations across the EU have adopted open and reusable solutions to create generic digital public administration components.

We are talking about Building Blocks that can be used to facilitate the delivery of digital public services by public organisations. But not only.

SMEs and startups across Europe are also already using these smart solutions to build their businesses.
