Lisbon objective and IST
•
There is now a greater consensus than ever before on
the significant contribution which ICTs make to
productivity and growth.
•
ICTs play a role directly through the contribution of the
ICT sector to GDP, and indirectly as other sectors
throughout the economy take up and exploit ICTs.
•
ICTs also improve the quality of life of citizens: for
example by promoting improved access to existing
services or by providing completely new services.
•
The Lisbon targets cannot be met without a pro-active
policy on ICT as a key component.
•
Pervasive adoption of ICT by businesses is a key pillar
of such policy
ICT in Figures
•
•
•
•
In Europe the growth rate is 2.8% in 2004,
US=3.5% and Japan=2.8%
40% of this growth rate is related to ICT goods
and services.
Overall, the EU invested half the US amounts
in ICT: EU total investment in ICT only grew
from 2.2% to 2.6% of GDP from 1990 to 2001,
while in the same period it grew from 3.3% to
4.2% in the US. Overall the EU economy is
less ICT-intensive.
Need to foster ICT adoption by entreprises
and SME’s

Some Challenges and associated
Policies (i2010)

Globalisation and delocalisation (Trade and
competitiveness)

Interoperability and Standardisation (Competition and
Internal Market)

Open Source (Competition and consumer protection)

Regulation and Market Barriers (Comp)

Trust and reliability (Security)

Deployment (Member States/Regional deployment
policies: eEurope/i2010, eTEN, Structural funds)

Convergence of technologies and industries (
competitiveness and innovation)
All are important drivers for Business Ecosystems
Ever growing complexity
ANY DEVICE
All devices can communicate with
and understand one another
RFID &
Interactive
Sensors
• There will be over one trillion
devices by 2005
• Number of communicating
data devices growing from
2.4 billion to 23 billion in
2008 and one trillion by 2012
• Towards more complex
business environments

• Driving more complex
business relations
• Creating opportunity for
business transformation
Increased complexity in
Business Networking
Vulnerability and Privacy
• Increased connectivity,
diversity of devices, global
resource sharing and richer
applications increase
complexity, amplifying the
vulnerability of the network
and escalating the privacy
concerns.

Challenges:
Pervasive connectivity will increase vulnerability and privacy concerns,2000
requiring radically new software solutions,
Establishment of “trusted” devices, servers and gateways will be required to
accommodate dynamic network infrastructure and provide end-to-end security,
Containing the damage caused to businesses by malware, including the
cost of fixing systems and lost revenue.
Birth and rise of the Digital Business
Ecosystem concept
• Launch of the concept, 2002
•
•
•
Discussion paper “Towards a network of digital business
ecosystems fostering local development”
Spring 2003 – workshop
DBE concept also in the US, though different approach
• FP6 - call1 - 2003
•
•
•
3 IP proposals
DBE project started in November 2003
2005 six regions acting as pilot (3+ 3) regions joined
• Results

mainstream in industry and development policy strategies
Concept now anchored to the ICT business sector, paving the way
towards Future research
Key Actors
SME’s
ICT Organisations
 ICT skills usually from outsiders
 System integrators
 Service providers

Software component developers
Open source communities
Open systems developers
 Providing SMEs with customised ICT
applications & services for improving
their efficiency (through process and
organisational integration) and for
extending their business beyond local
barriers
 Enabling these organisations to
keep and preserve their knowledge
and the possibility to
develop/integrate ICT-based
applications
 19 million enterprises in Europe
 99.7% are SMEs, 93% are micro (< 10
employees)
Key Actors
Regions
 From traditional rural economy to e-economy
Connectivity  high-speed fibre-optic telecom network;
wireless in areas where cable is uneconomic
Digital literacy  ICT-enabled social and entrepreneurial
activities
 Promoting regional economic growth,
competitiveness and employment
Rejuvenating industrial areas through adoption of distributed,
networked and open systems
Networking of SMEs and experimenting with new services
and new business models
 Synergies with the Structural Funds

Seeing Old Things in New Ways
IST in Figures (II)
The ICT sector is a major economic sector in its own right,
covering IT plus telecommunications equipment and
services:
 The sector has grown from 4% of EU GDP in the early ‘90s to around
8% in 2000 and 6% of employment in 2000.
 The ICT sector is one of the most innovative sectors accounting for
18% of the overall R&D spending in 1999 and one of the most
productive, with an annual productivity growth of 9% on average
over the 1996-2000 period.
The sector as a whole performs fairly well in comparison
with the US in terms of size (10% of GDP in the US against
8% in the EU, productivity and job creation, but less so in
terms of contribution to R&D (in the US, ICT account for
30% of R&D).

A Generic Trend
Beyond the pure business environment, dynamicity,
reconfiguration, heterogeneous environments are
becoming key trends of the ICT landscape
As encrypted networks grows in popularity, is
there a danger that these so-called darknets
will replace bigger and bigger chunks of the
Internet?
It's not a danger - it's a requirement.
Historically, corporations had physical walls.
Firewalls try to emulate them, but it's not the
way we work anymore. We need virtual
boundaries around our workgroups - which
may include a lot of people from other
organizations - not around corporations. The
only way to accomplish that is with darknets.
