3. FInES Vision Statement
The full potential of the Future Internet is accessible
to, relevant for, and put to use by European
enterprises including SMEs. The Internet thus
becomes a universal business system on which new
values can be created by competing as well as
collaborating enterprises - incumbent as well as new
- through innovation in a level playing field, with
sustainable positive benefits for the economy,
society and the environment.
