Digitalisation of industry
Cloud computing, the Internet of Things and big data are transforming European industry, both manufacturing processes and services, increasing efficiency in all sectors. Digitalisation of industry is based on a growing ecosystem of advanced computing, data analytics and communication devices, new levels of connectivity and IT applications over the Internet. This makes industrial value chains shorter and more vertically integrated than in the past. Thanks to digital, boundaries between the digital and physical worlds.
To take advantage of the potential of Big data, Europe must ensure that the regulatory framework enables data-driven innovation, as well as investment in the development of the necessary skills to enable the digital revolution. Europe must also focus on research, development and innovation, especially in the areas where we can face global challenges and regain our leadership on the digital global marketplace.
