European Grid Technology Days 2006
In her speech Ms Reding highlights that "Grids and service-oriented architectures underpin a new generation of utility-like services that will soon empower individuals and organisations to collect and share unlimited information, communication and media resources, and to co-operate in a secure and trusted way improving people's quality of life and the competitiveness of EU industry". The 23 new projects with nearly 80 million euros in Community funding being launched during the European Grid Technology Days 2006 "will help further advance Grid technologies, giving Europe a real opportunity to develop worldwide industrial leadership in the future IT services market". These Grid projects will also "provide solid support for implementing EU policies".
