SMART

Discover how interregional cooperation is helping to make a more competitive and smarter Europe.

Creating a smarter Europe means promoting innovative and smart economic transformation and regional ICT connectivity.

Our programme helps local, regional and national governments across Europe to develop and deliver better regional development policies in this field. 

We create opportunities for sharing solutions to regional development issues, for exchanging good practices and for policy learning via our two pillars: our interregional cooperation projects and our Policy Learning Platform.
