New innovation schemes in Horizon 2020

� Connect innovators across value chains

� In a critical mass of experiments

� Specifically targeting SMEs & Mid Caps

on demand- and supply-side

� Clustered around pan-EU


� Clustered around pan-EU

networks of competence centres

� Flexible, light and SME-friendly

implementation – Open Calls

� Pilots started in FP7: ECHORD,

� More broadly applied now in Horizon 2020:

� Smart anything everywhere

� Compute-intensive embedded / cyber-physical systems

Focused innovation initiatives

Modelling, Simulation, Analytics Laser-based manufacturing

Focus: Fast adoption of a strategic selection of ICT technologies

expected to have particularly high impact on the target sectors

Example:


Robotics

Cyber-physical systemsa Horizon 2020

initiative started in

FP7 supported

under the

Factories of the

Future PPP

Implementation – a typical project

� Critical role of pan-EU network

of competence centres

� Provide expertise and skills

� Broker/Facilitator across • Value chains

• Regions

• Sectors


� Technology Transfer

� Dissemination / Multiplier

� Management (open calls, …)

� …

� Critical mass of experiments

� Industrial

� Cross value chain

� Flexible partnerships

� Share lessons learnt – not IPRs

Application experiments – an example

HPC-Cloud based Simulation Services for SMEs

SME first-time users

of simulation codes

Innovation

centres/clusters

Actors

Users: One-stop- shopping

access to simulation

services including expertise

and cloud resources

Innovation


Commercial cloud

providers

Cloud and

parallelisation experts

Application

experts

Established simulation

code providers

HPC

resource providers

SW Suppliers: SW porting

on the cloud, experimenting

new business models

HPC resource providers:

Establish a commercially

sustainable European cloud

of HPC resources

Networking across projects

� Critical role of innovation multipliers

� Exploit synergies across projects

� Link to innovation networks

(e.g. Entreprise Europe networks) Innovation


(e.g. Entreprise Europe networks)

� Provide services to projects

(e.g. web portal, corporate identity)

� Dissemination / brokerage events

(e.g. this one)

� …

Multipliers

Networking across projects - example

� Example:

� Robotics

APPOLO

LASHARE

INTEFIX


� Robotics

� HPC-Cloud-based Simulation

� Lasers and sensors

� 77M€ EU funding over 3 years

� ~150 experiments

� 50% of partners SMEs/mid caps

� Balanced supply – demand side

How to better exploit the national

and regional dimension in the future ?

�Hook competence centres in national ecosystems� e.g . Industrie 4.0, Catapult

�Link to regions: smart specialisation � Pool resources: ESIF, …

�Launch satellite projects

� Complementing I4MS Satellite Projects


� Complementing I4MS

� Funded through local/ESIF resources

� Allow organic growth of ecosystems

• Less developed regions: Get access

to technologies & competences for

use in local industries

• Highly developed regions:

"export" competences

Satellite Projects

• Feasibility studies

• Best practice experiments

• Local dissemination

• Skills development

• Infrastructure provisioning

Concluding Remarks

� Plans for I4MS-like Innovation Measures under Horizon 2020:

� Smart anything everywhere

• Networks of embedded systems design centres: Work Programme 2014

• Networks of computing application centres: Work Programme 2015

� I4MS phase 2: Work Programme 2015

� Issues to be addressed in future – for discussion today:


� Issues to be addressed in future – for discussion today:

� Support pan-European platform building

� How to better root I4MS-like initiatives in national and regional ecosystems ?

� How to more systematically reach the target audience ?

� Is there a need for demonstration centers at programme level ?

� Link to smart specialization, e.g. in less developed regions ?

� Addressing the skills gap – virtual value chains

� How to provide access to finance for successful SMEs ?
