Report.at organised the kick-off for the fourth happening of the ebusiness/egovernment award today in Salzburg.
Good to see that there is a high number of innovative ICT companies in Salzburg (19 nominees). However, there were few applications of eGovernment, part of which will be contributed to the legal situation (since 2003) in Austria that requires an ecard reader (hardware) in order to make use of these applications.

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology EIT is taking shape. The constitutive meeting took place in Budapest, September 15th. The first research themes to be worked on in KICs (Knowledge and Innovation Communities) are climate change, renewable energies and the next generation of information and communication technologies.
Basically, any funding in research (fundamental as well as applied) will help in achieving the Lisbon objective and will make Europe more competive. Hower, I am not convinced whether EIT will have impact (in a broad sense on the community) and/or how it will be sustainable.
