Real-time economy -- A real European opportunity to take the lead in smart, digital economy
Real-Time Economy is an environment where all transactions between actors are in digital format, automatically generated, and completed in real-time, both from the business and IT-processing perspectives. For enterprises, public sector, and citizens this means, e.g. that orders, order confirmations, invoices, and payments flow from system to system automatically and without delays. The benefits for all parties are enormous - both in terms of productivity and environment.
Europe holds the lead in the RTE ecosystem standardisation. The infrastructure to implement RTE exists already today. The opportunity lies in fast uptake. RTE could be implemented in concrete activities such as Industrie 4.0 and the industry-led FIWARE Foundation that builds open service platforms for smart industry and smart public sector services. By adding RTE concepts into the competitive high-value sectors of European economies, such as manufacturing, construction and logistics, we can assume global leadership.
Finland and Estonia have been the leading Member States in the development of RTE and open service platforms. Both countries look forward to taking the rest of Europe ahead in truly digitalising the European economy.
Horizon 2020 work programmes have, so far, not had a solid placeholder for the real-time economy components, technology development and innovation. Therefore, we call for first explorations of the topic in Horizon 2020 and for a RTE PPP to be implemented in the next Framework Programme.

12:00-13:00 Introductions over lunch
