The Convergence of Bits & Boxes IT Industry Telecomm’s ”Kontent” Providers Electronics Industry The rationale behind ITEK
The DI/ITEK network DI, approx. 6.400 members Special Interest Groups Committees Associated companies (outside DI's collective bargaining regime) ITEK, with approx. 200 members, is a part of DI - however with its own Board of Directors and own economy

Electronics industry - scope - a logical future development Data capture Data presentation Sight Hearing Feeling Taste Smell 6th Sense Picture Sound Pressure. ”Experience” Scent ESP? Om-form-ning til bits Present IT systems ” Signal from Nature” Signal to user Transformation -Digital Transformation - Analogue Transfer of signal (magnetic) • Issues: • - No bits without atoms => Electronics Industry is driver • I/O-modules for various signals => Standardisation • "Content is King" => Service providers are key players
Watch out - The Sensors are coming The innovative part of future systems !
Pervasive Computing is coming Complexity (increasing) & size (smaller) Nano Integration Micro Electronic Mechanical Time Now
Innovation Lab Denmark • Early mover/leading edge in e.g.: • Mobile Phones (NMT/GSM - 1st & 2nd generation) • Electronic Stock Exchange (25 years) • Hearing Aids (50 % + of world market) • Wind Power (40% + of world market) • Optical fibre • Energy Savings (e.g. Power Electronics & Fuel Cells) • General IT-literacy (Private & Business) • National Broadband coverage - and usage • Benchmarkings - Denmark/Scandinavia in front Denmark: The market for real life - and full scale - testing
The cycle of an Issue DI, approx. 6.400 members Issue "Anybody" Special Interest Groups EICTA and/or National body Committees ITEK - 200 members from High Tech Industry ITEK Committees are DI Policy Makers on High Tech Issues Issues are more and more often born and/or resolved in EICTA
Influence of an NTA - How ? Power Establish = Influence Through Money Big Voice Expertise Be Competitive and Visible … as a group Find a big(ger) mouth e.g. National - DI or European - EICTA Be superior or Find an ally - but Participate ! You must earn your right to get support for an opinion
