EUREKA Continues its successful partnership at the 2011 European Business Summit

EUREKA continued its important partnership at the European Business Summit for 2011. It was present with a stand showcasing two projects: E!4031 RECONOMAD, dedicated to data acquisition and handwriting recognition technology and the ITEA2 ESNA for networking based on low-cost wireless sensors.

Most importantly, EUREKA also contributed to the opening panel debate. Luuk Borg, Head of the EUREKA Secretariat was present in ‘Entrepreneurship and SMEs: from declaration to implementation’, alongside other high profile panellists: Zsolt Becsey State, Secretary of the Economy of Hungary, Daniel Calleja Crespo, SME Envoy and Deputy Director General for Enterprise and Industry; Hugh Morgan-Williams, President of the SME Committee of BUSINESSEUROPE. Borg presented the successful Eurostars joint programme, dedicated to high-tech SMEs and added that ‘the way to success is to boost those SMEs – particularly in the technology sector – which, if successful, will then promote growth.’
