The European Commission’s Horizon 2020 proposal formally recognizes standardization as a critical tool for accelerating the market deployment of innovative products across its three priority pillars. European Standards Organizations CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI have committed to supporting this framework by bridging the gap between research results and industrial application to remove technical barriers. These bodies aim to integrate pre-normative research into projects to enhance interoperability, consumer safety, and the economic value of European innovation. By collaborating with the Commission, the organizations seek to establish a long-term mechanism that links scientific advancements directly to standardization processes.
