ATTRACT call for breakthrough scientific technologies by fundamental research
Why do some of Europe’s hottest start-ups decide to move to Silicon Valley? The ATTRACT project states this is caused because of a lack of breakthrough science. ATTRACT is therefore aimed at stimulating scaling up promising European ventures to global markets.
ATTRACT is a pioneering initiative bringing together Europe’s fundamental research and industrial communities to lead the next generation of detection and imaging technologies. The programme is co-funded by Horizon 2020 and aims to help revamp Europe’s economy and improve people’s lives by creating products, services, companies and jobs.
