4. Planned actions
• Add new members to WITSA
• Combine WITSA and Kangourou in each country and choose
universities for Bachelor in programming curriculum and work
with Kangourou winners, starting from the 5th grade in
collaboration with the local WITSA member
• Open a representative IT-office in Fairfax County for Europe
• Promote cooperation of American and European companies
with companies from the non-EU countries to obtain the
financing from 2014-2020 European Funds

7. US and EU
“The European information technology is almost irrelevant if you
compare it to the one in America.
HP has a turnover of 89 billion euro,
IBM 70 billion,
Microsoft 44 billion.
The biggest European is SAP with 12 billion.
Sage and Dassault Systemes have each 1.6 billion
and Software AG is number 4 with 1.1 billion.
There is a gigantic gap between Europe and America in the important
technology from the future – IT”

9. European High-Tech Industry becomes
increasingly marginalized
The high-tech industry in Europe is experiencing declining figures in all key
segments. European companies account for less than 10% of global sales of the
world's top-100 high-tech companies in the ICT sector.
The education system must cater to an increase in qualified graduates in the
so-called MINT disciplines (mathematics, information technology, natural
sciences, technology). To face declining population in Western
Europe, governments should also strategically recruit qualified professionals
from non-European countries.
The national governments, E.U. institutions, European high-tech
companies, investors, and educational systems must act in concert.
