Summary
Joint EU-LAC cooperation on digital transformation has led to the successful completion of the BELLA programme, which supported the construction of a new submarine fibre-optic cable linking Lisbon (Portugal) with Fortaleza (Brazil) as well as an onward terrestrial connection with several countries in the region. The new connection provides for the long-term interconnectivity needs of European and Latin American research and innovation communities, but its full potential has not been exploited so far.

- Foster cooperation and prepare ground for joint research and raise greater awareness of R&I and industrial cooperation opportunities.
