STOA Meeting Technology Transfer February 29, 2012 Dr. Gernot Klotz Cefic Research & Innovation

Societal challenges Powerful drivers of change in economy and society Major global market opportunities Requiring cooperation along the value chain From research to solutions Needs EU critical mass New needs  new ideas  new solutions employment Climate change Health and ageing Use of natural resources Energy security Clean transport ….

Strengths of Europe 1 st class research landscape Network of big companies and SMEs Well developed markets (common market) Proximity of knowledge and industrial value chain Ability to deal with complexity Need for a well- articulated European innovation model that:  builds on own strengths  keeps / create / bring back value to Europe  in a quite short timeframe

What is innovation Innovation is about change in technologies, mindset and new ways of cooperation between public and private Innovation is much more than R&D (not “ Research plus ” ) Implementation of ideas into practical value for whole society Urgency/speed and competitiveness of EU region Double money does not produce double innovation Given the challenges and the urgency innovation policies have to address critical elements of the value chain What it is:

EU Chemical industry in future Recognition of shift from technology support to demonstration of societal value Mindset shift to more pre-competitive cooperation within sector and open innovation along value chain Visible leadership of Chemical Industry in Public-Private Partnership on societal challenges – “value chain captain” Broaden engagement of companies (big + SME ’s) in Public Private Partnerships Change way we do things (i.e. more with less, change to renewables, closed loops, specialisation)

Bring policy and business models closer together Current public model Policy input end user sector Supplier 1 Supplier 2 Supplier n Chemical industry Policy input Business model end user sector Supplier 1 Supplier 2 Supplier n Chemical industry Materials Advanced Processes

Horizon what we like EU wide approach and significant increase of funding volume Focus on output rather than being descriptive Coordination of programmes through bridging actions Inclusion of piloting and scale up Technologies still part of approach Distinct funding line for Key enabling technologies Focus on excellence; structural improvements go to cohesion policy

Horizon2020 – what needs strengthening Simultanious stimulation of value chain Fitness check of instruments for innovation New type of PPP on innovation rather than research only Stronger role of industry in evaluation and selection Benchmark against global performances of regions

EU Cohesion policy - targets Financial volume of 336 bio Euro for 2014 – 2020 Boost impact of cohesion investments after 2013 (EU Regional Development Fund (ERDF); EU Social Fund; Cohesion Fund) Currently under discussion in EU Parliament (till end 2012) One focus: Research (complement Horizon 2020) as well as Innovation Implementation through Smart specialisation of regions (e.g. EC Smart Specialisation Platform)

17 Key aspects Output driven Value for Europe Value chain correctness as selection criteria Cross-boarder cooperation/critical mass Engage ‘big and small’ players skills
