Technology PlatformsTechnology Platforms Industry-Driven, Competitiveness-Focused European Technology Platforms – Concept: Stakeholders, led by industry, get together to define
a Strategic Research Agenda on a number of strategically important issues with high societal relevance where achieving Europe’s future growth, competitiveness and sustainable objectives is dependent upon major research and technological advances in the medium to long term.

Technology PlatformsTechnology Platforms
Three stages of development: STAGE 1: Stakeholders getting together in order to
establish their “vision” for the future development of the field concerned and to set up the technology platform;
STAGE 2: Stakeholders define a Strategic Research Agenda setting out their common views on the necessary medium to long term research, development and demonstration needs for this technology;
STAGE 3: Implementation of the Strategic Research Agenda - for which, in many instances, it is anticipated that significant public and private investments will need to be mobilised.

Technology Platforms: Commission roleTechnology Platforms: Commission role
The Commission is not the “owner” of technology platforms, nor is it directing how they undertake their activities
The Commission is, however, encouraging through: Its active participation as an observer; Playing a guiding role where necessary; Providing limited Community financial support for operational
entities (for example a Secretariat) to some of the platforms Continued funding, where appropriate, of collaborative research
projects in many of the areas concerned.
Where appropriate, using their deliverables (SRAs) in the course of developing research policy

ETAPETAP
In January 2004, the Commission adopted the Environmental Technologies Action Plan (DG ENV and DG RTD)
An ambitious plan to further environmental technologies within the EU and globally. It seeks to exploit their potential to improve both the environment and competitiveness, thus contributing to growth and possibly creating jobs
First report on its implementation adopted in January 2005

A European Technology Platform for A European Technology Platform for Sustainable Chemistry – facts and reasonsSustainable Chemistry – facts and reasons
The chemical industry is Europe’s third largest manufacturing industry, employing 1.7 million people directly and up to 3 million jobs dependent on it. Comprises 25.000 companies in Europe of which 96% SMEs
EU is world leading in chemicals production, accounting for 28% of world chemicals production. Largest single contributor to the EU’s GDP (amounts 2.4%, which is larger than that of any other manufacturing industry sector)
The chemicals sector produces some 70.000 different products, and supplies them to almost all other sectors of the economy
EU chemical industry spends 1.9% of sales on R&D. Industry-academia research collaboration increasingly important. However,
biggest gap between the US and Europe is resources available for private research
Research a major source of innovation, but R&D expenditures are lower in Europe than in competing regions. US and Japan are spending respectively 2.5% to 3.0% of their GDP on R&D in this sector. Moreover, they have developed national chemical technology strategies.
