The policy conference is a major part of ICT 2015, covering the three days (20-22 October). It is designed to present the new Commission policies and initiatives with regard to Research & Innovation in ICT - in particular, with regards to two of the top 10 priorities of the Juncker Commission: Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness and The connected Single Digital Market.

It is aimed at all constituencies involved in ICT research and innovation: engineers and researchers, all ranges of industrial companies (be it larger industry, SMEs or start-ups), investors, policy makers, as well as people contemplating a career in the ICT world. The conference is being organised around:
