Content of program
short description | Digitalisation and technological progress are shaping all areas of the economy and society and influencing industrial development - including space research. Cluster 4 "Digitisation, Industry and Space" of Horizon Europe supports digital as well as key industrial and space technologies that are of strategic importance for Europe's industrial future. The aim is to build a resilient, green and digital Europe. The overall objective of the topics in this heading is to establish the European supply and value chains in cloud to edge computing to Internet of Things (IoT) and tactile internet by integrating relevant elements of computing, connectivity, IoT, AI cybersecurity. New cloud/edge technologies with enhanced performance enabled by AI will increase European autonomy in the data economy required to support future hyper-distributed applications. |
program objectives | The overarching vision behind the proposed investments under Cluster 4 is that of Europe shaping competitive and trusted technologies for a European industry with global leadership in key areas, enabling production and consumption to respect the boundaries of our planet, and maximising the benefits for all parts of society in the variety of social, economic and territorial contexts in Europe. This will build a competitive, digital, low-carbon and circular industry, ensure sustainable supply of raw materials, develop advanced materials and provide the basis for advances and innovation in global challenges to society.
