Advances in information and communication technologies, the increasing use of electronic devices and networks, and the digitalisation of production processes mean that vast quantities of data are generated daily by economic and social activities. This 'big data' can be transmitted, collected, aggregated and analysed to provide insights into processes and human behaviours. Big data analytics have the potential to identify efficiencies that can be made in a wide range of sectors, and to lead to innovative ...

Telecommunications markets in the EU are changing rapidly in the face of growing demand for broadband access and the increasing importance of internet and mobile applications in modern life. Telecommunications network operators are facing challenges, including decreasing revenues and greater competition from companies that provide services that run 'over the top' of the internet and that compete directly or indirectly with their service offerings. Network operators argue that less stringent regulations ...

L'informatique en nuage est un modèle de fourniture de services dans le domaine des technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) par l'intermédiaire de l'internet. Cette technologie peut profiter aux entreprises, aux organismes publics et aux particuliers, en leur permettant de réduire leurs coûts, d'accéder à leurs données et à leurs applications sans restrictions géographiques et suivant un modèle flexible, et d'innover sans devoir engager des capitaux importants. L'informatique en ...

Universal service is the principle that all citizens should be provided with a range of basic but good quality services at affordable prices so that they are able to participate fully in society. Since 2010, functional internet access has been included in EU legislation on universal telecommunications service. However in the intervening years, the data volumes and connection speeds used by consumers have continued to increase. For some, designating broadband internet access as a universal service ...

5G refers to a future, fifth generation of mobile network telecommunications technologies. While research on the technical characteristics and potential uses of 5G is ongoing, 5G is expected to represent a major leap forward from current telecommunications technologies, including revolutionary changes in radio interfaces and spectrum use. On the basis of current trends and potential uses, 5G networks will be faster, always accessible, highly reliable and efficient in handling a very large number ...

Les services électroniques des administrations publiques européennes doivent interopérer afin de soutenir les particuliers qui étudient ou travaillent dans d'autres États membres ainsi que les entreprises qui exercent leurs activités dans d'autres États membres, et afin de réduire les coûts et d'assurer l'organisation rationnelle des administrations. Un programme renouvelé de l'Union pour la période 2016-2020 propose de continuer à soutenir les services d'administration en ligne interopérables, ...

The Global Parliamentary Network (GPN) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) provides a forum for Members of Parliament (from the EU as well as national and regional parliaments of member and non-member countries) to discuss current issues with OECD Secretary-General, Angel Gurría, and other experts. The GPN meeting in Paris on 1 October 2015 focused on bribery, climate change, migration and employment.

Many observers believe that Europe is at the beginning of a new industrial revolution, considered to be the fourth such leap forward and hence labelled Industry 4.0. The ubiquitous use of sensors, the expansion of wireless communication and networks, the deployment of increasingly intelligent robots and machines – as well as increased computing power at lower cost and the development of 'big data' analytics – has the potential to transform the way goods are manufactured in Europe. This new, digital ...

Une connexion à large bande est une connexion capable de transporter des informations à des vitesses élevées, utilisant diverses technologies fixes ou sans fil. La rapidité d'accès est importante pour le développement d'une économie numérique dans l'Union européenne: les économistes estiment que le développement des réseaux à large bande stimule l'emploi et la croissance économique. Pratiquement tous les citoyens de l'Union européenne ont accès à des services de base à large bande, mais des progrès ...

Les administrations mettent en oeuvre des politiques d'administration en ligne et d'administration numérique afin de réaliser des gains d'efficacité, de réduire les charges administratives qui pèsent sur les particuliers et les entreprises, de stimuler la croissance économique et de favoriser la participation de la population à la vie publique démocratique. L'Union européenne facilite la mise en place des services transfrontaliers pour les citoyens mobiles et les entreprises qui proposent des services ...
