Partner 1: VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH / Germany

VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH is an organisation founded by two of the largest European professional associations for engineers (VDI = Association of German Engineers and VDE = Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies). The company’s primary objectives are to promote R&D mainly in the area of information technologies, to assist governmental authorities in developing and analysing instruments and initiatives for the diffusion of technologies, in particular in developing initiatives for accelerating technological development and to speed up product and process innovation in SMEs.

VDI/VDE-IT is closely involved in technology policy development of federal and regional ministries. It participates in the design and is responsible for the implementation and management of R&D and innovation support programmes launched by national and regional governments, e.g. the SME-Research co-operation programme InnoNet on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economy and Labour.

VDI/VDE-IT is participating in the proposed ERA-NET as the delegated programme manager of the German Federal Ministry of Economy and Labour.
