Guide on ICT investments and ESIF published

A guide on ICT investments and European Structural and Investment Funds has been published by the Joint Research Centre, DG CONNECT, and DG INFOREGIO.

The guide, the Digital Agenda Toolbox, is aimed at regional and national authorities to assist them in designing strategic approaches to digital growth in the broader framework of their innovation activities. It also gives guidance on the prerequisites for ICT and broadband investments using European Regional Development Funds.

It highlights ICT opportunities as a key element in national and regional innovation strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3) and related operational programmes. The publication provides assistance for developing digital growth policies by providing information about what to do and what not to do throughout the process and by giving examples of good practices.
