Why is ICT important?
Engine of progress
- sector growing
faster than economy
Not just luxury gadgets
- part of everyone’s life

ICT boosts productivity
Sources of average annual labour productivity growth, 2000-2007
•Investment in ICT generates a bigger return to productivity growth
•than most other forms of capital investment.

Fixed broadband lines per 100 population
European Commission, 2011
A 10% increase in the broadband penetration rate results in 1 to 1.5% increase
in annual GDP per-capita. Faster broadband = higher GDP growth. (Czernich et al. University of Munich, 2009)

What is
Horizon 2020?
• Commission proposal for an 80 billion € R&I funding
programme (2014-20)
• Part of proposals for next EU budget, complementing
Structural Funds, education, etc.
• A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union &
European Research Area
19
Horizon 2020
objectives
• Respond to the economic crisis investing in future
jobs and growth
• Addressing peoples’ concerns about their livelihoods,
safety and environment
• Strengthening the EU’s global position in research,
innovation and technology
20
What's new?
• A single programme bringing together three separate
programmes/initiatives*
• More innovation, from research to retail, all forms of
innovation
• Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g.
health, clean energy and transport
• Simplified access, for all companies, universities,
institutes in all EU countries and beyond.
*The 7th research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Innovation Framework
Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)
