Wolfgang Boch Head of Photonics Unit DG CONNECT European Commission ERRIN workshop, 14 December 2015 Framework for the EC contribution

Outline  What do we do in a typical H2020 unit in a technology area?  The opportunities from Key Enabling Technologies and digitisation of industry  H2020 instruments to be presented and discussed:  Pilot lines and demonstration projects  Innovation hubs / eco-systems and role of innovation vouchers (Heidi Moens, GROW/Bart Van Caenegem, CNECT)  Eranets (Neophytos Neophytou, RTD)  Seal of Excellence (Magda De Carli, RTD)  Cluster support (Bart Van Caenegem, CNECT; Ziga Valic, Optitec)

■ Facilitate coordination of EU-national-regional levels ■ Support innovative SMEs/mid-caps/large industry/RTOs ■ Fund collaborative research and innovation projects in photonics/Key Enabling Technologies, closer-to-market actions, pilot lines ■ Fund Coordination and Support actions with specific strategic objectives ■ Knowledge and innovation creation ■ Improved innovation potential ■ Products and solutions for more welfare and well-being (solving societal challenges) ■ Growth & Jobs; competitiveness of Europe ■ Increase awareness of 'the power of photonics/Key Enabling Technologies' ■ Attract young talents and build up a skilled workforce What do we do in a typical H2020 unit in a technology area? 3

Value creation from digitisation : Products, Processes and Business models 5 Products Services ICT/Photonics Blurring of boundaries in value creation "Photonics inside": Innovations in all types of products Sensors, wearables, printed electronics … Digital transformations of processes with photonics Built on Internet of Things, robotics, laser technologies, big data,.. Increasing resource efficiency, productivity,.. Radical/disruptive changes in business models Blurring the boundaries (products-services), reshuffling value chains 3D Printing & customisation

H2020 instruments for discussion motivation: create growth and jobs and keep Europe competitive by exploiting the power of Key Enabling Technologies and Digitisation of Industry How?  Pilot lines and demonstration projects: to accelerate technology readiness and support innovation  Innovation hubs / eco-systems: to create competence capacity and give industry access to know-how and facilities  role of innovation vouchers  Eranets: to enable cross-regional collaboration and value chains  Seal of Excellence: to identify excellence and avoid double efforts in submission and evaluation  Cluster support: to support cross-regional collaboration and exchange of best practises
