Meeting the challenge

• Competing in a changing world

Leadership requires concerted efforts of all players incl. regulators and governments to provide the environment needed for growth

• Consensus building

Complexity and need for global standards, requires cooperation beginning with research

• Europe’s industry is fully committed

10-20% of turn-over are committed to R & D, where the collaborative R&D comprises less than 1%

Collaborative research on European level

Research at European level essential to enable consensus building towards harmonised solutions in early stages in research

Prerequisite for technology leadership

Development of global harmonised standards is made possible through

–Global coordination of spectrum allocations

–Possibility to protect achieved results, stimulating investments in R&D

The EU Framework Programmes enable key players to cooperate in pre-competitive domain

Public funding corresponds only to small fraction of industry spending for R&D
