Conference

Interoperability is the ability to exchange and use information between networks, systems, devices, applications or components. Nowadays, all interested parties – governments, industries, consumers and other social partners – have acknowledged the need for interoperability. As a matter of fact, the benefits interoperability could bring to European and international competitiveness, productivity, GNP growth and employment are significant.

Given the increasing diversity of systems and applications, interoperability makes the development of a mass market possible and avoids the inconvenience of fragmentation. But interoperability would not be viable without standards. Standardization is an essential tool to foster interoperability.

Hence interoperability standards are a primary objective for all standardization stakeholders, be it policy-makers, industrial players or users. The European and American standardization organisations, with close links to their global counterparts, offer open, transparent environments for standards making. They can guarantee a sustainable solution for an interoperable competitive environment.

Jointly organised by CEN, CENELEC, ETSI and ANSI – the European and American standardization bodies – the Conference on Interoperability will provide a first-class opportunity for delegates to understand, discuss and share their views on this challenge. Both American and European stakeholders will come together and address global issues on interoperability and standards.
