To find out more about H2020 click here Click Here to visit the KTN ICT website Horizon 2020 (H2020) is the financial instrument implementing the Innovation Union, a Europe 2020 flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe’s global competitiveness. Running from 2014 to 2020 with a €70 billion budget, the EU’s new pro- gramme for research and innovation is part of the drive to create new growth and jobs in Europe. H2020 provides major simplification through a single set of rules. It will combine much of the re- search and innovation funding currently provided through different pillars and aims to move closer to market with greater emphasis on innovation. ICT is a major element of Horizon 2020, represen- ting a cross cutting technology that supports most if not all sectors. The ICT KTN believes that through H2020 this new approach is one of the best oppor- tunities for SMEs and other UK businesses to access new routes to European funding and to support innovation for the next seven years – our aim is to enable this sector to be aware and be prepared for H2020. It is the European Commissions’ intention that from an overall H2020 budget, a significant % of the budget will be for ICT with approximately €6 billion going to support SMEs. SMEs will have new instruments in H2020 to provide more opportuni- ties for industry. funding supporT For R&D Within the ICT Sector </p>
