FP7 ICT Work Programme Challenge 3:
Components, Systems, Engineering

The share of embedded electronics in the value of products ranging from children's toys to car engines is around 20 to 40%. Europe is currently the leader in intelligent electronics for a number of industries including automotive, avionics, telecoms, mobile communications, health and industrial automation. European firms also figure among the top semiconductor manufacturers. In addition equipment companies and Europe enjoys leading positions in emerging markets for photonics, plastic electronics, flexible displays, integrated micro/nanosystems and embedded systems.
