EUROPEAN DIGITAL DECADE: A QUANTUM DECADE?

EU-US COOPERATIONØ R&D breakthroughs happening at an

accelerating paceØ Fierce international competition: current

strong positions can’t be taken for grantedØ Transition from science to technology faces

similar challenges, could be met together

Ø Scientific community is international, exchanging ideas and people across the world

Ø Startups are local but big companies are international, companies and IP can be acquired

Ø Markets for disruptive technologies are globalØ Public and private US funds are financing EU

research, US companies have European branches.

Ø Europe has no GAFAM, very few unicorns and just one HPC company
