DETECT-it is a European initiative which aims to stimulate the participation of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Research and Technological Development (RTD) activities, in particular within the European Sixth Framework Programme (FP6). The project involves forty-two partners from sixteen countries and over one thousand SMEs from across Europe. A particularly innovative element of DETECT-it is the participation and support of corporate leaders from the private sector.
DETECT-it is supported within the framework of the “Stepping up Economic and Technological Intelligence” actions of the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Commission .
