EUREKA Doing business through technology

> EUREKA is about assuring the technological independence of Europe encouraging co-operation between European businesses and researchers, mobilising the necessary financial resources, accompanying the efforts of our enterprises by creating the necessary environment.

There are numerous obstacles, but each time we come together our successes encourage us in the idea that we can work together in R&D areas close to industrial markets, despite the problems arising from the normal and legitimate competition between firms.

François Mitterrand, Paris, 17 July 1985
