Hello Everyone!

We hope you had a pleasant break and we wish you all the best for 2019. 

In 2018 we saw 78 new projects use the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Building Blocks to achieve their ambitious goals. The projects range from fighting terrorism, to reducing air pollution, to eliminating millions of paper invoices, to signing regulation electronically and many more.

With the addition of three new Building Blocks that help projects archive electronically, use real-time data and leverage the power of Big Data, there has never been a better time to reach out to us and learn how a Building Block can help you realise your project. 

So if you, or a project you know of could use a Building Block, get in touch and we'll explain the services we offer and help you get started.

We look forward to helping you making a digitally connected Europe a reality.
