The final version of the new 2021 Electronic Components & Systems (ECS) Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) has been published by AENEAS with its two sister industry associations Inside and EPoSS on 12 January 2021.

The European Commission coined the term “Key Digital Technologies” (KDT) to express why ECS is the basis on which many other digital technologies and many application areas are founded. The ECS-SRIA 2021 provide direction to the new KDT joint undertaking, but also to longer term RD&I activities on ECS, as well as to the EUREKA Clusters, Xecs, PENTA and EURIPIDES.

This edition is accompanied by a plea for more investment and closer collaboration all along the ECS value chains and a concerted approach between countries, the  ‘ECS SRIA 2021 Synopsis for Decision Makers.
