sector services that will raise productivity and improve services.
Actions under the ICT-policy support programme will
 underpin regulatory and research actions of the Commission to stimulate emerging digital
economy;
 provide a bridge between research investment and wide adoption, by providing a testing
ground for pan-European electronic services in both the public and private sectors;
 reinforce European cultural and linguistic identities by support for the production and
distribution of European digital content;
 assist the development of an open and inclusive European Information Society through
stimulating innovative approaches to inclusion, quality of life and public services;

and renewable energies and improve energy efficiency.
It includes actions to:
 increase the uptake and demand for energy efficiency
 to promote renewable energy sources and energy diversification, and
 to stimulate the diversification of fuels and energy efficiency in transport.
The programme will also help to increase the level of investment in new and best
performing technologies and bridge the gap between the successful demonstration
of innovative technologies and their effective introduction to the market.
