The event supports the aims of the current Commission'seGovernment Action Planand the recently signed Ministerial Declaration on eGovernment in Tallinn, recognizing that whilsteGovernment solutions foster efficient governance, they also change citizens' approach to interacting with governmental organisations.

It is of a great interest of the Commission to gather feedback from the existing Horizon 2020 projects in order to fine-tune its future e-governance policies. This event is thus an excellent opportunity for policymakers to obtain valuable recommendations from the ongoing Horizon 2020 projects.

Moreover, this session is a valuable opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors to learn first-hand about commercialization possibilities of all invited 27 invited Horizon 2020 projects. This way, the organizers hope to maximize the chances of these projects to become successful services adopted by both public administrations and commercial ventures.
