WHO CAN JOIN

DIGITAL SME encourages the participation of academic experts from different backgrounds and all disciplines related to EU digital policy (e.g. political science, economics, competition policy, data science, IT, philosophy, etc.), who share our mission of putting tech SMEs at the centre of the EU agenda, as a key driver of European digital sovereignty and digital transformation of EU industry.

The Committee is a unique opportunity to advance this vision at a European level, and for its members to engage in fruitful exchanges with like-minded experts - with options to interact bilaterally with the DIGITAL SME community, and pursue joint research projects or funding opportunities.
