Support to Infrastructures and Poles of Innovation• eInfrastructures, Cloud Computing, Virtual/regional Clusters (Labs, European

Institute for Innovation & Technologies);• Large Open Test-bed facilities needed Involvement of Member States in large scale experiments• Development and testing of innovative and interoperable solutions in general

interest areas (smart cities, regions…) and for grand societal challenges Use R&D&I to support open standards and platforms• Linking standardisation to research and leveraging it as a tool for

innovation. • « Remaining barriers for entrepreneurs to bring "ideas to market" must

be removed: …smarter and more ambitious regulation and targets, faster setting of interoperable standards…. »

Medium to long term balance, Pooling resources, Impact driven, More systematic coupling R&D with Innovation

• X-sector partnership• Novel Web services, new actors (games, social network, creative industries...)

Broadband Subscribers (millions)

Mobile: red

Fixed: blue

Trend: Wireless Internet• 1 Billion mobile BB subscribers end 2011

• >3227 HSPA devices are launched from 214 suppliers

• HSPA is deployed in 462 networks in 162 countries/ territories

• 136 HSPA+ networks launched in 69 countries

• Exponential growth of apps

• M2M to increase the trend

• 174 LTE network commitments in 64 countries

• + 163 pre-commitment trials

• 31 commercial LTE networks in 31 countries -> 80+ expected by end of 2012

Mobile – Internet inter-working today: mainly patchesMedia – Over The Top services (superposition of layers)

Mob volume ≈1/200 fixed volume

Time needed to deploy 100 3G networks world-wide: 4 years

Time needed to deploy 100 HSPA enabled networks: 1 year

2 Million+ LTE subscribers: the fastest developing mobile

communication system ever!!

Mobile radically accelerate the pace of changes (Apps, Mash-

ups, Location Based Services, M2M…)

• Common sensor and actuator information infrastructure across cities

– provides secure and reliable access to sensor and actuator information services for multiple players, and so that information can be efficiently shared across ”verticals”, this provides application enablement

Connecting Europe Facility – Digital Infrastructures

• focused public intervention to stimulate private investment where the market case is weak, and

• development of common architectures for digital services

• support increasingly mobile citizens, • reduce transactions costs for enterprises, in particular SMEs in

search of growth opportunities beyond their home markets • enable the emergence of the digital single market, • stimulate growth of cross-border services:

– Trans-European backbone connection for public administrations– Cross-border eGov services– Access to Public Sector Information and multilingual services– Safety and Security– - Intelligent energy networks and services

• Horizon 2020 – Objectives and structure

Intelligent Platforms: the road to Intelligent Platforms: the road to

smartsmart innovation innovation

i) Europe can build on its telecommunications and “applications/services” strengths and take a leading role in ICT-enabled smart growth;

ii) Research with strong innovation orientation: need to address longer-term… and shorter term delivery of results;

iii) Interoperability/standards as important as ever;

iv) Need for critical mass; involvement of new players Convergence beyond ICT boundaries;

v) User driven open innovation, large scale test-beds;

vi) Next year will be key to define with the stakeholders the new plans for innovation and infrastructures to be carried out under H 2020 and “The Connecting Europe Facility”
