Through its EU4Digital initiative, the European Union supports reforms and actions to favour the development of ICT research, start-ups & innovation ecosystems across the Eastern Partnership region, drawing from EU experience and best practices.

Innovation framework
Innovation infrastructure
Pilot projects for SMEs
Innovation services for SMEs
The ongoing EU-funded EaP Connect programme also supports ICT innovation through the interconnection of Research and Education communities across the region and with their European counterparts via a high-capacity broadband internet network, providing up to two million local scientists, students and academics at over 700 institutions with access to global research. www.eapconnect.eu
EU4Digital support for ICT innovation infrastructure will encourage the sharing of research excellence and cross-border investments, open EU markets to start-ups from the EaP region, encourage investments and create jobs for talented young people, and lead to an overall increase in productivity and value.
