Information and communication technology (ICT) is one of the main factors shaping 21st-century society. ICT is a connecting force in the working world and in people’s everyday lives. In addition, it creates opportunities for growth in the German economy and opens up possibilities for solving the great social challenges that will face us in the coming decades. IT-based networks and applications reduce energy consumption and provide gateways to the knowledge accumulated by our society, while networked homes and telemedicine provide assistance to aging populations.

These technologies ? together with the cutting-edge products and innovative services they are associated with ? generate growth markets and jobs both within and beyond the ICT sector. According to experts, innovative ICT solutions will be the engine for up to 100 billion euros in growth across all industries in Germany by the year 2020.
