Dear All,
That may be of interest to you that yesterday the European Commission
issued the* Europe's Digital Competitiveness Report.*
In this paper the Commission indicates that:
* *Europe is at risk of losing its competitive edge* when it comes
to new innovative developments.
* World* economic crisis is already impacting on R&D*. Reduced cash
flows and credit constraints (including a reduction in venture
capital) are making R&D investment pro-cyclical.
* The Commission is about to launch a public* online consultation*
on unleashing ICT as a driver of economic recovery and as a lead
contributor to the Lisbon growth and jobs agenda. This is crucial
in the current economic and* financial crisis.*
* The Commission calls on the Member States and on stakeholders to
actively cooperate in the months ahead until early 2010 to draft
a* new digital agenda* so that Europe can emerge from the current
crisis with a stronger, more competitive and more open digital
economy, driving European growth and innovation.
* The Commission has proposed to pursue the proposal for a new
programme aimed to promote* Interoperability Solutions* for public
Administrations (European Interoperability Framework)
* EU’s position as a key player in the international ICT arena
depends on* international openness and cooperation*, an internet
free of restrictions on traffic, sites, platforms. It also depends
on our ability to handle global challenges, such as* international
governance.*
* Given the crucial contribution of innovation by the ICT sector to
productivity growth, long-term strategic choices by* governments
in this area are of fundamental importance*.* EU governments
however account for only a relatively small part of ICT R&D*.
* In the European Union R&D in ICT is highly* fragmented*. This
market fragmentation contrasts with the fact that R&D in ICT is
highly concentrated.
* The old Member States accounts for 98% of the total* Germany*
(26.2%), France (17.3%) and the UK (12.8%). New Member States are
catching up however.
* In the* Nordic countries* (Finland, Sweden and Denmark) the
contribution of the ICT sector to the overall R&D intensity is the
highest.
* The EU's main competitors (i.e.* USA, Japan and Korea) are
investing significantly more* in ICT R&D (relative to GDP) than
the EU.* Europe is nearly absent in the Internet industry*. The
gap is primarily due to the smaller size of the EU ICT business
sector relative to the US.
* *
