Sadly, Europe can no longer claim the lead in most of the major areas of research and technological development. In some fields, such as research on thermonuclear fusion or particle physics 4, European research still leads the world but on the whole it has clearly lost ground. A situation all the more disastrous in sectors of exceptional economic importance such as electronics, information technology, the life sciences and materials science. A few figures and examples show the scale ofthe problem; ofthe 37 technological sectors ofthe future that have been identified, 31 are dominated by the USA, nine by Japan and only two by Europe, software and electronic switching.
