The ICT Policy Support Programme (or ICT PSP) aims at stimulating innovation and competitiveness through the wider uptake and best use of ICT by citizens, governments and businesses.
The programme builds on the aims of the previous e-TEN, Modinis and e-Content programmes and will support the aims of the new integrated strategy i2010 - European Information Society 2010.

- The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (EIP)
- The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Policy Support Programme (ICT PSP)
- The Intelligent Energy Programme (IEP)
The ICT Policy Support Programme (ICT PSP) will be running from 2007 to 2013 with a budget of M 728.
The programme will focus on three main themes in 2007:
