How can RTO’s support the Re-Industrialisation in Europe,

what can be offered in the near future?

Key Enabling Technologies for European Growth

Energy & Processing in Manufacturing

Key Enabling Technologies – Strategy

EARTO Annual Conference 2014 Wien, 9 May 2014

Policy Research and Innovation

Starting point – important challenges for Europe • Still need to reassure full and sustainable

recovery and new growth

• Hesitant industrial investments, concerns about declining manufacturing in Europe and consequences

• Global markets and competition – "growth is elsewhere"

• Innovation as an engine for growth

Policy Research and Innovation

Energy & Processing in Manufacturing

• Important societal challenges and ambitious policy goals

• Cost aspects Competition aspects: USP, cost reductions

• Technological challenges, integration challenges

• Manufacturing challenges

• Mobilise actors: industry, markets

Key factor: Research and innovation 3

Policy Research and Innovation

Horizon 2020 is different

A strong challenge-based approach, strong emphasis on expected impact

Emphasis on innovation, with continuing support for R&D - covering the full RDI cycle, range of instruments for different needs

A strategic approach, with two-year work programmes

Promoting interdisciplinary work, bringing together different technologies, along entire innovation chain

Cross-cutting issues mainstreamed (e.g. social sciences, gender, international cooperation)

Part of a European approach to foster RDI: Coordination/complementarity/ synergies with national and regional strategies – “smart specialisation”

Connected to European Industrial Policy (EU2020 Strategy) European KETs strategy

'A European strategy for Key Enabling Technologies A bridge to growth and jobs’ COM(2012) 341

'A Stronger European Industry for Growth and Economic Recovery' COM(2012) 582

Policy Research and Innovation

Mastering and industrial deployment of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs)

What are KETs?

• Six strategic technologies

• Driving competitiveness and growth opportunities

• Contributions to solving societal challenges

• Knowledge- and Capital- intensive

• Cut across many sectors

• Nanotechnologies

• Advanced Materials

• Micro- and nano- electronics

• Photonics

• Biotechnology

• Advanced Manufacturing

European KET Strategy:

• EC Communications

(2009)512 & (2012)341

• KET High-level Group

Policy Research and Innovation

The issues regarding KETs

• Europe has strong position in science and in patenting activity

• But there is a gap between the technology base and the manufacturing base

• We need to add demonstrators, competitive manufacturing and product development to the technologies

• Importance of added value products and (systemic) solutions with market perspectives

From Lab to Industry to Market

Policy Research and Innovation

Energy & processing in manufacturing

• Energy technologies

• Energy for transport and mobility

• Manufacturing and processing

• Manufacturing of KETs, clean technologies, energy technologies etc.

• Advanced /smart/intelligent manufacturing

• Efficient use of resources - waste reduction/avoidance

• Energy efficiency

• Emission reduction

• Context and also market relevant: societal challenges and policy goals - Energy and Climate policy objectives

Policy Research and Innovation

H2020 LEIT and KETs – main priorities

Technology development and validation, aiming at industrial deployment of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs)

Strategic research agendas, roadmaps and value chains (applications in several sectors)

Strong industrial relevance, industrial engagement / leverage, partnerships, SMEs

Pilots and demonstrators

Cross-cutting KETs (combinations of KETs and manufacturing), 30% of KET budget

Enabling applications in societal challenges

Projects outcome oriented, bringing technology building blocks closer to the market

Policy Research and Innovation

Mobilising for common missions: Public-Private Partnerships in H2020

• To solve problems together with industry

• To strengthen European industrial leadership

• To facilitate prioritisation of R&I in line with the Europe 2020 objectives and industry needs

• To leverage research and innovation elements

• To strongly commit industry to joint objectives

The EeB Roadmap

• Part1: Vision

• An innovative high-tech energy-efficient European Construction industry (regarding buildings and districts)

• Part 2: Research and Innovation Strategy

• Main drivers: Design, Structure, Envelope, Energy equipment, Construction Process, Performance Monitoring, Building's end of life, Cross-cutting challenges and integration along the value chain

• Part 3: Expected Impacts

• Reduce by 2020 energy use by 50% compared to 2010 levels • Adequate rate of renovation: ideally up to a yearly 4% of the

foreseen 2020 building stock • Leveraging additional investments (factor 4 or higher)

Policy Research and Innovation

The EGVI Roadmap

• Part 1: Vision

• Developping energy-efficient road vehicles and alternative powertrains ("Green vehicles")

• Part 2: Research and Innovation Strategy

• Required technologies (for passenger cars, two-wheelers, trucks and buses) will be considered at all product layers from modules to systems and vehicles. Innovative solutions for powertrain systems and in electric storage systems, electric components and interface between vehicle and infrastructure

• Part 3: Expected Impacts

• An energy efficiency improvement of the transport system by 50% from 2010 to 2030. Battery life-time and energy density doubled, at 30% lower cost, in 2020 compared to 2009 Li-ion technology

• Leveraging additional investments (factor 5 to 10)

Policy Research and Innovation

Evolving roles and opportunities for

RTO’s

• The biggest beneficiaries; combining technological and process know-how, RDI expertise

• New roles and opportunities

• Outcome orientation, business orientation, industrial innovation

• New roles as partners to industry as well as science/research? Adapted to « TRL »?

• Need for new business models?

• Different roles – specialisation? (disciplines, partners, missions)

« know how » + « know-what »

« know who » - connecting competences, disciplines, people

« know where » (including internat. dimension, smart specialisation)

• Partners to policy makers 22
