The eu-LISA Industry Roundtable aims to bring together representatives of the industry, Member States’ authorities and EU institutions; providing a forum for eu-LISA stakeholders to exchange views on developments of different technologies applied to the migration and home affairs’ domain.
Industry presentations propose their contributions to the topic selected, featuring pioneering technologies, products and services addressing the Member States’ capability gaps in the specific area of interest.
eu-LISA currently operates three large-scale IT systems – Eurodac, SIS, VIS – and is working on the development of EES and ETIAS. These systems and the pre-existing ones are being built/adapted to ensure Interoperability - improved access to information stored in EU information systems and identity management at an EU level. In addition, the Agency’s portfolio has been enlarged within the justice domain: with the development of ECRIS-TCN, the management of e-CODEX and the development of the Collaboration Platform for Joint Investigation Teams (JITs).
