European Commission to invest in digitising industry

Building on and complementing the many national initiatives for digitising industry, such as Industrie 4.0 in Germany, Smart Industry in the Netherlands and in Slovakia or Fabbrica Intelligente in Italy, the European Commission plans to use its policy instruments, financial support, coordination and legislative powers to trigger further investments in all industrial sectors.
This includes working with Member States to focus investment in public-private partnerships; pooling resources for ground-breaking developments in digital technologies and platforms, including high-performance cloud infrastructure for science and innovation as well as large-scale test-beds to accelerate standards setting.
