• ICT impacts business efficiency across the economy
• ICT underpins innovations in all major products and
services
•
ICT – an important sector in its own right
– From 4% of EU GDP in early 90s to close to 8% today
•
ICT – underpins progress in all science & technology fields
– Computation and simulation, data handling, sensing,
control, collaboration, etc..
– e.g. GÉANT, the world-leading research network,
Sarajevo, 23 April 2009
ICT helps address key societal challenges
•
ICT – providing tools for addressing key societal
challenges
– ageing population, inclusion, healthcare
– Education, learning and preserving Cultural diversity
– Safety, environment and risk management

Positioning of the Programme
• Projects launched in 2009-10 to have impact in 2015-20
• By then, global ICT/knowledge infrastructure – related
technologies – market structures – value chains – business
models: all will have significantly changed
Research challenges should:
– Encourage firms to explore more innovative options than they would
otherwise pursue
– Focus on higher-risk ICT collaborative research in a medium to longterm agenda
