Abstract
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play a crucial role in growth and job creation. They add value to goods and services, make business and government processes more efficient, and deliver the services that citizens and businesses need. Competing nations, such as the US and Japan, understand this and proportionately spend more on ICT research than Europe currently does. And in the face of global competition, ad increasingly complex technologies and soaring research costs, there is a growing need to step up collaboration in ICT research and innovation both at Member State and Community level, underlining the importance of Community efforts in this area. That is why Europe needs to invest more heavily in ICT research and get more out of it – one of the central pillars of the i2010 initiative, an Information Society for Growth and jobs
