What is this about?
•
Measures that enable all sectors to benefit
from digital innovation:
•
•
•
•
These measures benefit from:
•
•
•
•
For higher value products with "digital inside"
Increased efficiency of processes
Adapted and reshaped business models including
relevant services
A true Digital Single Market
World class broadband, cloud and data
infrastructures
Access to sources of financing
Coordination of various initiatives - MS,
regional, EU
•
Pool resources, avoid fragmentation and support
DSM
What is at stake?
•
+ €110bn annual revenue over
next 5 years
40% of value added of cars comes from
digital innovations
•
- €600 Bill. annually if we don’t
act
If Europe is slow in in digital
transformation
•
+10 % in industry Added Value

Only one company out of five in the EU-28 is highly digitised, but the situation across countries is
varied: from one out of two in Denmark to one out of nine in Greece and Bulgaria.
The Digital Intensity Index (DII) is a micro-based index that
measures the availability to the firm of 12 different digital
technologies: the internet for at least 50 % of employed persons,
recourse to ICT specialists, fast broadband (30 Mbps or above),
mobile internet devices for at least 20 % of employed persons,
website, a website with sophisticated functions, social media, ERP,
CRM, electronic sharing of supply chain management information,
eCommerce turnover accounting for over 1 % of total turnover,
business-to-consumer (B2C) web sales of over 10 % of total web
sales. The value for the index therefore ranges from 0 to 12.
Only in five EU countries is the percentage of firms with a very
high DII (i.e. possessing at least 10 out of the 12 monitored
digital technologies) above 5 %: DK, NL, FI, BE and LT. In the
first four countries at least one third of firms also have a high or
very high DII (i.e. firms have at least 7 out of the 12 monitored
digital technologies). In IT, RO, BG and EL, less than one firm
out of eight has invested heavily in digital technologies (i.e. has
a high DII).

•
Should support networking between hubs
Specialisation and excellence
• Stimulate national and regional investments (incl. ESIF and
EFSI)
•
•
To upgrade existing hubs
To start new hubs when necessary
• EU to concentrate on the "glue" between EU/natl/reg.

• Focus, up-scale and further pool R&D&I on core
technologies
– IoT
– Data
– Connected smart factories
– Connected and automated driving
• PPPs to play a key role in setting EU-wide industrial
strategies
• Whole innovation chain: R&D&I, pilot lines, large scale
testing, etc..
• Connect to national and regional efforts, access to finance
• Address also issues related legislation, standardisation, skills

Smart regulation for Smart Industry
Adapting regulation to eliminate
barriers for digitisation
• Personal data governed by General Data Protection Regulation
(fundamental right)
• for autonomous and AI-based systems
• for the Internet of Things
