The Internet economy will evolve substantially over the next ten years, fueled by innovations in technology and business models. Advances such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and blockchain could bring about an industrial and technological “renaissance”. Our community believes that the Internet will promote drastic shifts across all sectors of the future Internet economy. In a hyperconnected economy, no sector of the economy will be untouched by technology — hospitals, transportation companies, manufacturing firms — and only those who adapt quickly to technological change will be successful.

Virtual reality (VR) is a rapidly developing computer interface that strives to immerse the user completely within an experimental simulation, thereby greatly enhancing the overall impact and providing a much more intuitive link between the computer and the human participants. Virtual reality has been applied successfully to hundreds if not thousands of scenarios in diverse areas including rapid prototyping, manufacturing, scientific visualisation, engineering, and education. This paper gives an overview on the virtual reality applications in manufacturing processes.

Europe is squandering its energy resources. This is not only wasting money, but also damaging the environment and contributing to climate change. However, if everyone plays their part, Europe could save a fi fth of its annual energy consumption by 2020 compared with conducting ‘business as usual’. The energy-saving effort is supported at EU level by the European Commission’s action plan for energy effi ciency. The plan outlines the action that must be taken by the EU, its Member States, and its businesses and consumers to ensure that Europe fulfils its energy effi ciency potential. This brochure explains the plan, places it in context, and points to the measures being taken to put it into practice.
