The proposed KDT partnership will build on experience  gained from the ECSEL JU and satisfy the more demanding societal, economic and technological impact criteria of Horizon Europe. The objectives and scope will be adapted to the changing geopolitical situation and continued technological convergence, going beyond microelectronics to relevant aspects of photonics, beyond embedded software to relevant higher layers of software, beyond Smart Systems to enable intelligent Systems of Systems (SoS), and addressing important trends including the emergence of new computing paradigms, edge-computing and its link with cloud computing -in particular for AI applications, flexible  electronics and bioelectronics
