With regard to the general impact on the entire European high-tech industry, the majority (52 %) of respondents expect to see significant effects. 3 % even expect devastating effects in various areas of the high-tech industry.
Furthermore, 14 % of the experts were still unsure at the time of the survey whether effects of the war will be felt in Europe, 31 % were confident and do not expect any further effects on the industry.
Regarding the sanctions imposed on Russia, the industry experts were united: the sanctions are at least appropriate, if not too weak. None of the respondents stated that the sanctions were too drastic or that no sanctions should be imposed.
