3 Methodology 1 p Presentation and discussion: 10 Recommendations from ISTAG Report from the High Level Group (HLG) on Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) p Focused discussions in five blocks of questions: 1. How to best address R&D&I on generic ICT versus application-driven ICT? What are the links to societal challenges? 2. How to best cover the full innovation cycle, from frontier research, to industrial research, to innovation activities? 3. What are the new research challenges to be addressed and the impact to be targeted? Are there any "negative" priorities which should not be addressed anymore at European level? 4. What funding schemes and instruments are the most relevant ones for implementation, e.g. PPPs, open schemes? 5. EU versus Member States priorities - what are the best means for co-ordination (e.g. joint programming)?

4 Recommendations from ISTAG (I) 2 1. Strengthen Europe s competitiveness by investment in ICT as an enabling technology keep ICT as a free standing area in the CSF with sufficient budget allocation 2. Aim at global leadership in Social Innovation and create a 'Balanced Progress' framework 3. Enlarge the stakeholder community as new, nonconventional actors become increasingly important 4. Focus on Europe s strategic strength to manage complex systems and environments 5. Ensure the dependability of ICT with next generation of infrastructures

5 Recommendations from ISTAG (II) 2 6. Unleash the potential of a more rigorous end-to-end supply chain in R&D & innovation in ICT by bridging the gap between pre-competitive R&D and products 7. Create open fast-track schemes for innovation acceleration, amplification, and detection 8. Continue and strengthen the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) scheme with new initiatives 9. Develop common EU-wide services and platforms in crossborder, co-funded initiatives and partnerships, and re-think the set-up of schemes involving Member State funds 10.Embrace ambiguity and unpredictability and enable a dynamic agenda

6 Recommendations from HLG about KET 3 1. Make KET to a technology priority for Europe definition 2. EU should apply the TRL scale R&D 3. Fully exploit the scope of relevant R&D definitions 4. Rebalancing of EU RDI funding programmes 5. Strategic approach of KET programmes 6. Establish an appropriate set of rules tom implement KET programs 8. EU shall adapt state aid provisions to facilitate RDI and investments in KET 9. Globally competitive IP policy in Europe 10. Build, strengthen and retain KETs skills

8 Selected Facts & Figures: China is aggressively ramping up the value chain to address future system markets The LED value chain Materials Chips Components Systems and luminaires Services 4 Market size 2009 $0,07B $0,23B $0,65B $1,97B? CAGR % +58% +59% +70% Government al Incentives Up to 50% of the cost of a MOCVD reactor new MOCVD reactors installed in equivalent per month capacity X10 Q : 140,000 Q : 1,465,000 LED cities will have at least 21 cities install a minimum of 10,000 LED streetlights each Guangdong Province (China): $90 Million budget to subsidize 30% of LED street lamp cost MOCVD equipment for LED production is almost monopolized by German AIXTRON and American VEECO But until when?

9 Common message of ISTAG and HLG KET End-to-End value chain from R&D & innovation in ICT needed 5 + Services + Systems Ways towards sustainable competitiveness in ICT Manufacturing Deployment in EUwide services and platforms Joint pre-commercial procurement of complete systems to address societal challenges Source: High Level Group on Key Enabling Technologies

10 Conclusion from the discussion (I) peuropean Leadership in ICT is important both for industrial strength in the global market and for the support of solutions to societal challenges peurope s competitiveness must be strengthened by sufficient investment in ICT as an enabling technology, supported as a free standing area in the next EU framework 6 presearch & Innovation (R&D&I) must see generic ICT and application-driven ICT as start and end of one process ICT research and innovation must include both horizontal (generic) and vertical (application-driven) activities: They are not orthogonal, but rather complement/enable/drive each other

11 Conclusion from the discussion (II) p Covering the Full Innovation Cycle Establish powerful industrial policy and demand-side measures such as pre-commercial procurements and revise IP regimes to foster a successful innovation cycle 6 Bridge the gap between pre-competitive R&D and products, including also support to e.g. customer pilots and pilot lines for fabrication Make the entire process short, simple and commensurate with the type of innovation Smoothen the transition between the different phases of the R&D&I cycle, and avoid compartmentalization of roles/actors Make access to these instruments attractive for SMEs

12 Conclusion from the discussion (III) p Research & Innovation Challenges Aim at global leadership in 'Social Innovation', as the social dimension of technical innovation becomes increasingly visible and important; involve new, non-conventional actors 6 Ensure strong support to communications & computing, systems & components, content & semantics, dependability, usability & utility Leverage European strengths, such as the capability of management and evolution of very complex systems Continue and strengthen the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) scheme with new initiatives

13 Conclusion from the discussion (IV) p Funding Schemes & Instruments Covering the Full Innovation Cycle Develop common EU-wide services and platforms in crossborder, co-funded initiatives and partnerships that require matching funds from the Member States 6 Create open, fast-track and dynamic schemes for innovation detection, amplification, and acceleration PPPs are excellent set-ups for road-map based initiatives - for co-funding schemes that require matching funds from the Member States, improvements in implementation must be found to create efficient cross-border collaboration
