On 22 February 2021, the European Commission (EC) presented an Action Plan on Synergies between civil, defence and space industries (COM(2021) 70 final) to further enhance Europe's technological edge and support its industrial base. This timely and strategic Action Plan is designed to reinforce European innovation by exploring and exploiting the disruptive potential of technologies at the interface between defence, space and civil uses, such as cloud, processors, cyber, quantum and artificial intelligence. 

Following a Referral from the EC, the EESC contributes with an Opinion prepared by the Consultative Commission on Industrial Change (CCMI).
