>> European industry, the connected car, HPC, Big Data, Distributed ledger
>> technologies, etc.). Finally, the study should propose a list of policy

>> competitive EU software and hardware industry and a sustainable
>> transformation of the EU economy. The project team: Fraunhofer ISI
>> (represented by Knut Blind), OpenForum Europe, Mirko Boehm and Andrew Katz.
