Organisation KIA-ST

Joint ambition for key enabling technologies development

In the Knowledge and Innovation Agenda Key Enabling Technologies (KIA ST), we, the KIC partners involved, articulate our joint ambition and approach for the (continued) development of key enabling technologies. The KIA ST forms an active ecosystem that gives impetus to this development, based on the National Technology Strategy.

We connect knowledge institutions, companies and authorities, as drivers for the development of key enabling technologies for all top sectors. We give direction to (inter)national collaborations, build our innovative ecosystem, strengthen networks and co-initiate new platforms. Our joint efforts make us an important partner in government policy.
