EUREKA celebrates 30 years of coordinated
European Investment in innovation
EUREKA, the network for promoting cross-border innovation is turning 30.
EUREKA is exploiting this important anniversary to showcase in the coming
year its history, achievements and its impact - and an investment of some
€36 billion leveraged over its existence. A video currently being produced
will have a close look at the history of the network, illustrating just a few
of the network's many success stories. A report of technological trends
since 1985 will highlight EUREKA's role in developing tomorrow's
technologies. Part of the anniversary programme is an event in Lugano,
Switzerland. The event will be organised under the auspices of the Swiss
EUREKA Chairmanship with speakers including Jacques Attali, one of
EUREKA’s founders and a former advisor and G-7 sherpa to French
President François Mitterrand. Come and learn more about this unique
initiative at the EUREKA stand at the European Business Summit. EUREKA
Secretariat Director Pedro de Sampaio Nunes will be present on the stand
to speak to the media and Swiss EUREKA Chairman Bruno Moor will be
speaking in a session on Thursday afternoon.
