Thank you for meeting us at the Smart City Expo World Congress !

date:  14/11/2018

Dear visitors, 

Thank you for coming to the Smart City Expo World Congress and more especially to our CEF Digital Connecting Europe booth. We had the chance to meet you and you showed interest in our program. 
Therefore, here is a quick little reminder of what is the Connecting Europe Facility program:

CEF aims to make Europe a connected and digital place through the promotion of Building Blocks that can ease the daily work of Public Entities and Private Businesses. What are these Building Blocks about?

  • eID: extending the use of online services to citizens of other EU Member States
  • eInvoicing: make it easier to do business with the public sector (deadline to apply directive: 18 April 2019)
  • eSignature: make signature paperless
  • eDelivery: create a secure and reliable message exchange infrastructure 
  • eTranslation: exchanging information across languages in the EU Member States

And the three new ones:

  • eArchiving: preserving, migrating and reusing data using common specifications
  • Context Broker: analysing, sharing, managing and using data in real time at the right time throughout Europe
  • Big Data Infrastructure (coming soon): analyse mass-data into one unique platform.
