The document discusses the European Union's Digital Agenda, which aims to promote smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth through information and communication technologies (ICT). The Digital Agenda contains 100 actions across 7 areas to achieve these goals for citizens, employees, consumers, and other groups. Nanoelectronics is indirectly addressed as a key enabling technology and directly through ICT research funding and strategic agenda setting. Related initiatives like the Innovation Union and industrial policy also aim to support technologies like nanoelectronics. The speaker seeks input on ensuring the success of programs like Joint Technology Initiatives beyond 2013.
