the sustainable grown ICT offers a significant toolset to build a
sustainable future for the next generation of Europeans. To meet
its ambitious climate change goals, the EU strongly endorses new
technologies capable of improving energy efficiency and making
transport systems, buildings, and cities in general
smarter.smarter.Viviane Reding, European Commission, 2010.5 6.
