The Canadian-Nordic Partnering Lunch at ITS European Congress 2014 was open to SME´s from Canada and Nordics and was the first step in accessing product development finance from the international Eureka Program. The Eureka Program is administered by the Tekes Organisation in Finland, by similar organisations in other Nordic countries and the National Research Council, NRC, in Canada. To qualify for technology development funding, applicant companies must start by partnering with one other SME from another country. As the world’s 5th largest independent IT and business process services company, Canadian, and delivering ITS services and solutions around the world, CGI were asked to present how we deliver these services to our clients, our approach to R&D and how SME’s are important part of the Mobility as a Service ecosystem.
