What is the problem? More proactive action is needed to mainstream ICT
The uptake of ICT in areas of public interest requires proactive public policies. The major hurdles for the wider and better use of ICT in these areas include the unavailability of ICT-based services or products, the lack of interoperability of solutions across the Member States, and the lack of cross border initiatives or critical mass.
Why is EU action required?
What are the Commission's plans?
The objective of large-scale pilots is to provide proof-of-concept so that ICT can be mainstreamed in our processes, products and services. ICT-based innovations will be tested in real settings to demonstrate their genuine value and prepare for their wider adoption.
