Towards a European policy for technology infrastructures : building bridges to competitiveness

This report presents the findings of the Commission Expert Group on Technology Infrastructures (EGTI), established in November 2023 to analyse, support, and provide recommendations for improving technology infrastructures (TIs) in Europe. The group explored critical topics such as the definition of TIs, assessing industrial needs, and addressing barriers to access for industry, SMEs and start-ups. With a focus on enhancing European strategic value chains and industrial competitiveness, this report offers actionable recommendations for TI governance and investment prioritisation at the EU and national levels. The report also addresses the need for developing funding instruments for building-up TI capacities to align with evolving industrial requirements.
