NCPs competencies

Financial sources:

• EU• Bund/Land• PPPs• P2Ps

The Action Plan (EASME/DG ENTR/DG RTD)• Main reasons: step up one gear in the cooperation (Original action plan 2011…)• Synergy, no competition. It is about the client!• New contact points (transparency and efficiency)

• All EEN consortia, EEN Sector Groups• All national/regional NCPs, NCP CSAs. (New!)

• Refresh good practices (compendium)• Promote cooperation

• Info exchange/Signposting• Info days/brokerage events/trainings• Partner search• "National/sectoral task forces"…

Setting up of task forces. It is a people's business!• Target group: NCP/EEN national coordinators, NCP CSA coordinators, EEN SG Chairs • EASME, DG ENTR, DG RTD will be in touch with you to encourage…• Memoranda of understanding with your peers:

– Common mini annual work plans (2-3 events/trainings; not more) No additional bureaucracy. It is your daily bread.

– X-change of client profiles (automisation, sub groups, matchmaking, Linked in…)– H2020 SME instrument / innovation management action– Communication platform: "Linked in?!"

2015 - Action Plan reloaded: Cooperation EEN/NCP(22.10.2014 NCP coordinators meeting, E. Koch)

I recall C-Energy 2020 Management Board meeting from 7. December 2015

1. EEN presentation slides for C-Energy/NCPs standard ppt

Cooperation: basic issues

AOB• (…)• Cooperation with EEN: • what is the status ? • No rolling plans arrived, no ppt on EEN for our

standard presentation has been prepared. • The synergy between our partner search and EEN

databases can be considered at item 1 above as it may be of interest for other NCPs as well.

• Capacity building- national EEN Thematic platforms/meetings

• EEN presentation slides for C-Energy/NCPs standard ppt• Intensity of collaboration• Seal of Ecxellence• Regonal involvment in Energy ERA-Nets• Synergy with Structural Funds• Regional FCH-Initiative• C-Energy/Masterclass, webinars, b2bs –which way to go

Proposal• SoE clients are SME regional actors• SMEs need coaching and advise for further

funding opportunities– European Structural and Investment Fund– Financial Instruments

• NCPs are keen to cooperate

Regonal involvment in Energy ERA-Nets

• ERA-NETs calls are intiated by interest of MS (regions?)

• „coordinatig“ body is JAWG ( Joint Actions Working Group ) of SET-Plan Steering Group

• JAWG is composed of HL ministerial officials• Regions are not represented in that group

Regonal involvment in Energy ERA-Nets2017

• Bioenergy BESTF4 (LCE-35) – UK• On-Shore wind (LCE-35) – Spain • Smart Grids (LCE-37) - Austria• Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (LCE – 35) – Spain• Solar PV (LCE – 35) – Switzerland

2018• ACT 2? - Norway• Demowind 3 – UK• Geothermica 2? – Iceland (or 2019)• Industrial Energy Efficiency – Lead tba

2019• Bioenergy BESTF5 (LCE-35) – UK• Geothermica 2? – Iceland (or 2018)• Ocean? - Scotland / UK• Smart Grids Plus 2? - Austria

2020• Demowind 4 - UK• Smart Cities (??)

Proposal

• As a member of JAWG I can provide you information on ERA-NETs on regular basis

• Regions may be interested to exercise the cooperation under the “Berlin Model” as an alternative to INTERREG like projects

Synergy with Structural Funds

• Support in dialogue with the regions• Support in training on new instruments like

PCP/PPI

Proposal

FCH JU

Name der Präsentation

Regional FCH-Initiative

The FCH JU is launching a large, ambitious study to develop markets, enable solutions and coordinate funding • FCH JU needs active collaborations with interested regions/cities in which they:

– Define product needs – Provide input to define business cases for these products – Engage directly with a broad spectrum of industry players who can supply the products – Help coordinate and maximize funding/financing sources to implement solutions

• FCH JU offers: – Our commitment to work with you – Cover 100% of the costs of external support (consultants)

• FCH JU requests: – Your commitment to provide input and engage actively in the study and beyond in the rollout – A vision to include hydrogen-based technologies in the portfolio of solutions to be supported in

your community • As a first step, FCH JU asks interested communities to sign a Memorandum of Understanding

(MoU) There will be a symbolic signing ceremony held on November 23 at the FCH JU annual Stakeholder Forum in Brussels

Proposal

• NCPs are the official supporters for FCH JU activities

• FCH market uptake measures have dedicated regional character (local infrastructures)
