ICT industry calls for action to strengthen growth
Leading associations representing the European Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry have identified seven key action areas to fully exploit the potential of the ICT sector for European citizens and businesses: 1. productivity and growth, 2. sustainability, 3. creative content in the digital world, 4. trust, 5. participation for all, 6. trade/market access, and 7. reduction in administrative burdens.
“Already accounting for more than 40 percent of the productivity growth, ICT will not only play a key role in accelerating Europe’s economic recovery but also its ability to move forward into the future”, says Enrique Baron Crespo, former President of the European Parliament.
