IST a high political and policy profile

• The Union has set an objective for the next
  decade
• Lisbon head of states council .
• To become the most competitive and dynamic
  knowledge-based
• economy in the world, capable of sustainable
  economic growth
• with more and better jobs and greater social
  cohesion.
• eEurope (Boost broadband) A major policy
  instrument to attain this objective
• New regulatory package
• IST providing the key technologies .

IST Context

• The Context for IST has changed in the last year
• Burst of the financial bubbles
• Economic slowdown
• Security,...
• The importance of IST for the economy and the
  whole society remains vital
• Key for societal challenges
• Essential for competitiveness of all industries
• Major role for all other science and research
  fields

IST part of a competitive race to knowledge

• The US invests 3 times more on RTD in IST
• 52 of RTD effort in IST in OECD countries is in
  the US
• only 17 in Europe (22 in Japan)
• Public investment in the EU is 50 of the US
  effort
• . and the gap is widening
• The EU effort is fragmented
• .critical mass is rarely reached in the member
  states
• and IST has shorter shorter life-cycles...

IST - Europe can react...

• A new generation of technologies is emerging
• helps build an ALL inclusive knowledge society
  and economy
• Europe is well positioned
• Europe can build on strengths, e.g.
• - in Mobile and Wireless,
• - embedded software,
• - consumer electronics,
• - rich content service provision
• EU RTD in IST provides a unique opportunity
• - to aggregate fragmented effort (ERA)
• - build consensus and provide a global approach
