The PREDICT project aims at analysing the state of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector and its Research and Development (R&D) in the European Union (EU) and beyond. This analysis, co-funded by DG CNECT, is carried out by the Information Society Unit of the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (JRC IPTS) in collaboration with the Valencian Institute of Economic Research (Ivie). The study provides detailed information on the progress of ICT sector by its two subsector categories, ICT manufacturing and service. It also assesses the progress between the EU Member States, and compares the EU’s achievement with other non-EU economies that are currently taking the lead in the world ICT economy, including both developed and emerging economies. The other main objectives of the study are to provide an analysis of private and public R&D investments in the EU ICT sector and to analyse ICT R&D performance through a worldwide analysis of patenting in ICT.
