  • Digital Europe

The Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP) was set up by the EU to support the European industry and boost investment in critical technologies in Europe. STEP raises and steers funding across 11 EU programmes to three target investment areas:

  • Digital technologies and deep-tech innovation
  • Clean and resource-efficient technologies
  • Biotechnologies

STEP also supports projects growing the skills necessary to develop those critical technologies. STEP introduces a new STEP Seal – an EU label for high quality projects granting STEP projects visibility and facilitating their access to other possible sources of funding.

STEP is currently conducting a brief survey on access to EU funding. In case you are interested in contributing your point of view, you can access the survey here. The survey is open until 27 September 2024.
