This year's theme was 'Sharing Technology'. Around 1,000 participants shared ideas and experiences in an open way on smart technologies, such as Clean Tech, Digital Society, ICT, Industry 4.0 and more. The main programme started on Tuesday 15 May with the open EUREKA Day. EUREKA High-Level Group Chairman Francisco Marín welcomed the audience. After the opening session, an inspiring round table was held that included Huub Rutten, Sopheon's Vice President of Product Research and Design and ITEA project leader. This session was followed by the presentation of the EUREKA Innovation Awards 2017. A winning project was announced for each of the three categories 'Competitiveness', 'Added Value' and 'Innovators of tomorrow'. This year, ITEA 2 project ADAX on Cybersecurity won the EUREKA Innovation Award 2017 in the category 'Competitiveness'. ADAX project leader Adrien Philippe Bécue of Airbus Cybersecurity pitched the project during the plenary session in the morning of 16 May. Wednesday 17 May was Eurostars Day followed by the Cluster Day on Thursday 18 May, which started with a panel discussion between representatives of all EUREKA Clusters and moderated by Intercluster spokesperson and PENTA Director Peter Connock. After the break, a lively, interactive "Clusters game" was presented by ITEA Vice-chairman Philippe Letellier. The audience was invited to provide the topics for games on the Clusters' value chain, innovation and impact. All chairpersons of the Clusters were challenged to react to these topics within 30 seconds, creating an energetic ambience. Apart from an interesting programme, there were plenty of networking possibilities during the B2B meetings that were organised from 16 to 18 May. Furthermore, at the exhibition, participants were able to visit the 50 stands all addressing innovation, including the ITEA Project ADAX as the EUREKA Innovation Award winner, the recently finished ITEA project ACCELERATE and current ITEA projects ReVaMP 2 and AMALTHEA4Public.
