Asia IT&C Program

The European Commission (EC) launched the Asia IT&C Programme in October 1999 in order to co-finance mutually beneficial partnerships in Information Technology and Communication between Europe and Asia. Asia IT&C has been granted a budget of €30 million to run the Programme. The Programme can supply up to 80% co-financing to Information Technology and Communication projects proposed by a consortium of organisations from the EU and participating Asian countries/territories.

Intensifying co-operation between Europe and Asia is central to strengthening economic relations across both regions, and in creating opportunities to develop and share in the overwhelming benefits IT&C provides.

The Programme strives to create broad, intense and enduring technological and economic relationships between Europe and Asia, in which balanced partnerships and joint innovations may flourish. For more information visit:
