This study addresses the issue of growing energy consumption due to the expansion of cloud services in Europe.

This study presents a roadmap of the emerging technologies impacting the global electronic value chain. It also identifies the main emerging Micro-Nano Electronics (MNE), Smart Systems and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) technologies and forecasts their economic impact in short and midterm on the different end-user segments. It assesses which of these technologies are the most critical technologies for the EU and are therefore suggested to be supported by the European Commission and the follow-up Joint Undertaking in the context of Horizon Europe.

The public consultation on the European strategy for data ran from 19 February to 31 May 2020. This summary report takes stock of the contributions and presents preliminary trends that emerge from them, focusing on quantitative aspects.

The study provides facts and figures and a series of quantitative stories on data-driven innovation to underpin a range of targeted policy measures addressing the EU data economy. With the help of the study results, it has become easier to get a factual assessment of the huge socio-economic potential linked to the common European data space.

A group of European experts have recently discussed how to pursue the Commission’s ambition in building a common European smart communities’ data space on the European federated cloud infrastructure.

Since March 2020 eTranslation, the secure automated translation service provided by the European Commission is open to all European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) free-of-charge.
