Information and Communications

Connecting tomorrow, digitally. 

Access the latest developments in information and communications engineering technology by tapping into IET products and services, events and communities globally.

News and Highlights

A series of spheres connected by lines

There is a new European project EXPRESS – this is studying the development of the “Smart Systems Ecosystem” and what measures, funding programmes or other initiatives will help Europe develop an active, vibrant and world leading Smart Systems technology sector. Our friends at ESP are one of the partners in EXPRESS and need your input. The project has just started and they are leading the analysis of the challenges facing the sector – these will be used as a foundation for the rest of the two year programme of activity.

You can contribute by completing one of two surveys.
For clusters (groups of companies)
For individual organisations (companies, universities, consultants)
