In the context of the Digital Single Market, and with the European Commission’s support, public administrations across the EU have adopted open and reusable solutions to create generic digital public administration components that make it possible for them to provide better services to citizens and businesses.

Given the importance of SMEs within the European economy, the European Commission is launching this Challenge to SMEs and startups across Europe — to the ones that are willing to innovate and grow their business by taking the lead towards making a digital Europe, the ones who think big, play smart and stand out.

Through this Challenge, the European Commission aims to experiment new ways to engage with SMEs and startups to re-imagine how open and reusable solutions are created and promoted, stimulate awareness and, ultimately, increase their adoption.
