information society in Slovenia until 2020:

general development guidelines of the ICT sector. In all priority areas of measures implemented, which
are broadband and other infrastructure of electronic communications, innovative data-driven services,
digital entrepreneurship, cyber security and inclusive information society, particular attention in terms
of technological aspects will be devoted to the following horizontal priorities:
future internet - the internet of things,
cloud computing,
big data, and
mobile technologies.
In terms of content, the measures will focus on the following fields:
digitisation of entrepreneurship and the private sector, and
smart communities, towns and homes.
Individual measures will be finalised and detailed after the end of public consultations with the private

lie within the information and communication sector have been excluded from priority actions under
this strategy. Priority areas thus do not include the following: embedded systems, intelligent transport

distributed systems, artificial intelligence systems, ICT components, ICT systems of physical protection,
