EXCITING is a 24-month project (November 2016 to October 2018) that aims to study the research and innovation ecosystem for IoT and 5G in China and compare it with the European counterpart. The main objective of EXCITING is to support the creation of favourable conditions for cooperation between the European and Chinese research and innovation ecosystems, mainly related to the key strategic domains of IoT and 5G. The project involves eight European partners from Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Portugal, UK and six partners from China. EXCITING is funded by the European Commission and the Swiss and Chinese Governments.
