PO Days 2025: Kickstart your ITEA Project Outline and build your consortium

The ITEA PO Days are the ideal platform for launching your new RD&I project in the software innovation domain. Historically, over 70% of submitted Project Outlines submitted in an ITEA Call originate from this vibrant event. Face-to-face collaboration has consistently proven to be the most effective way to build strong projects and partnerships.

The ITEA PO Days 2025 will integrate best practices from previous editions, ensuring you get the most out of your participation and maximise your project’s potential!
