The aim of the “INVEST - INTeroperability Vision in Europe - Strategy Timeplan” project is to focus on strengthening interoperability, fostering innovation, stakeholder engagement and promoting digital transformation across European public administrations.
The implementation of the project goals will bring multiple benefits.
It will:
- Strengthen interoperability between European public administrations through a strategic roadmap.
- Promote innovation by creating regulatory sandboxes for the controlled testing of new technologies.
- Engage a wide range of stakeholders to ensure collaborative and inclusive digital transformation.
- Support the development of a single digital market by facilitating seamless cross-border digital interactions.
- Develop digital skills and competences among public sector employees for sustainable technological progress.
- Identify and exploit synergies between different EU initiatives and national programmes to maximise resource efficiency and impact.
- Create a self-sustaining environment for continuous stakeholder engagement and innovation beyond the duration of the project.
The project is designed to contribute to the objectives of the Digital Europe programme, making a significant impact on the creation of a more connected, efficient and innovative European digital ecosystem.
The INVEST project is directly related to the EDIC-IMPACTS (connected public services) project. INVEST is coordinated by GRNET in cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Governance acting as an associate partner, and has a strategic role.
