Realizing that
Europe lags behind in the digital business race, Charles-Edouard Bouée, as CEO
of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, initiated the foundation of a European
digital business platform - Terra Numerata™. As the core of a wide-ranging European digital
business network it will bring together firms of different sizes from different
segments to help them form alliances as well as support the digitalization of
the European business world.
The need for
such a digital initiative becomes obvious when one surveys the world's top 20
Internet companies. None of these 20 enterprises are of European origin.
In fact, 13 of
those companies are from the US, while the rest are from Asia. Europe clearly
is in danger of losing the digital business race, putting its prosperity and
industrial leadership at stake.
Key mission: Boosting Europe's share in the digital
business market
The European
digital business landscape is characterized by its complexity when it comes to
relevant players and institutions. This entails that Europe's digital business
sector is highly heterogeneous, with expertise and resources spread across the
different countries. But this does not have to be a disadvantage for Europe.
Under the
umbrella of Terra Numerata™ incubators, investors, technology providers
and all kinds of digital players will come together. Networking the players in
the digital field supported by European policymakers will be the key for the
creation of new digital opportunities. Sharing and connecting creativity,
capabilities and resources can lay the groundwork for Europe's digital success
story.
Terra Numerata™, Industry 4.0 and disruptive changes – Europe's future weapons in
the digital business race
Winning the "fourth"
dimension and being able to guide the "fourth industrial revolution" will
be of extreme socio-economic importance for Europe and especially for its
leading industrial nation Germany. Terra Numerata™ can operate as a
catalyzer for the development and implementation of new processes in the race for
sovereignty over the customer interface, new sources of data and ways of
analyzing, processing and monetizing them.
When it comes to
discovering and developing new economic and industrial opportunities in the
digital sphere, counseling and support are obviously still needed and may be
provided by Terra Numerata™. The digital transformation of industry in
Europe depends on collective European action in international markets, common
regulative policies, newly-created incentives as well as a comprehensive and
efficient information- and communications infrastructure. To set the stage for
Europe's digital future, politics, enterprises and sciences must act coherently.
