"To remain competitive in the future, Europe must succeed on three fronts – investment, coordination and global ambition. And this is where CESAR is our strategic advantage. It is the collaborative engine that develops the world-class digital technologies we need to transform our airspace into the world's most efficient and environmentally friendly sky – and the safest sky. CESAR is Europe's answer. A unique system-of-system approach following years of research and development, guided by the ATM master plan. Thanks to the investment made by Europe through CESAR, European technological solutions for air traffic management are significantly ahead of non-European competitors. In today's Europe, the industry's role is more critical than ever. It must evolve from being a technology provider to becoming a strategic partner in shaping a secure, sovereign and future-ready European sky."
