Technology Infrastructures

Technology Infrastructures (TIs) are essential for Europe’s technological sovereignty, industrial competitiveness and innovation ecosystem. They are facilities, equipment, capabilities and resources required to develop, test, upscale and validate technology.

TIs provide state-of-the-art capacities and services to support businesses—large businesses, SMEs and startups—in bringing new technologies to market. By reducing the risks and costs associated with technology development, prototyping, validation, and upscaling, TIs accelerate industrial innovation and transformation across sectors.

Enhancing accessibility, improving coordination, and mobilising investments in TIs are crucial to ensure that European industries remain at the forefront of technological advancements.
