This section is dedicated to new, promising and upcoming market segments, i.e. technologies and applications which will produce considerable profit growth for IT enterprises in the next few years.

This does not necessarily mean that this section only deals with new issues. Segments like automatisation that have shifted from proprietory electronics to compatible IT systems years ago are still strongly on the rise.

The European IT industry has developed considerable potential especially in less publicity oriented areas like IT for medical applications (telemedicine, online surgery etc.) and has enormous opportunities on the world market. But also "hip" segments like semantic web are an excellent playground for European brains.

For a start, ITBeurope has chosen to publish information on the business and market segments you find in the link section in the column on the left.
