A NEW TECHNOLOGY PLAN

32. THE TECHNOLOGY PLAN
THE NATIONAL STRATEGIC REFERENCE FRAMEWORK (QREN) APPROACH:
COLLECTIVE EFFICIENCY STRATEGIES: COMPETITIVENESS AND TECHNOLOGY POLES
CLUSTERS
STRENGHTENING THE RESEARCH CAPACITY OF FIRMS – INCENTIVE SYSTEM
FUNDING OF RESEARCH PROJECTS
THE COOPERATION WITH U.S. UNIVERSITIES
MIT
CARNEGIE MLLON
AUSTIN

33. Collective Efficiency Strategies
There are four different types of Collective Efficiency Strategies:
(1) Competitiveness and technology poles: innovation networks which are partnerships between relevant support corporations and institutions, sharing a strategic vision based on innovative activities aiming at the development of highly technological projects, with a strong international perspective (i.e., projects that promote technological development directed at the production of new products, services or processes, with a linkage between business skills and scientific and technical knowledge).
(2) Other clusters: national partnerships sharing a vision for the economy of a specific territory’s economy, or for interconnected sectors, and for which proximity is a key factor in the innovation process.

34. Collective Efficiency Strategies
(3) Programmes for the economic enhancement of endogenous resources (PROVERE): partnerships between local players who appreciate the specific resources of low density areas and which generate activities based on creativity and innovation in locations featuring significant weaknesses vis‐à‐vis competitiveness.
(4) Urban regeneration and development actions (ARDU): partnerships for urban economic renewal, through the relocation or reordering of economic activities and renewal of economic activities in urban centres.

35. THE COMPETITIVENESS AND TECHNOLOGY POLES

36. The regional CLUSTERS

37. Incentive System
Incentive System of the Competitiveness Factors Operational Program of the National Strategic Reference Framework (QREN):
Innovation IS (SI Inovação): Innovation Incentive System that supports production innovation investment projects fostered by one or more companies in cooperation.
R&TD IS (SI I&DT): Incentive System for Company Research and Technological Development that supports research and technological development and technology demonstration projects. Co-promotion projects are very important.

38. Incentive System
SME Eligibility IS (SI PME): Incentive System for SME Qualification and Internationalisation designed to provide support to investment projects fostered by one or more SMEs in cooperation and aimed at innovation, modernisation and internationalisation of SMEs.
It is important to highlight that these IS finance the cost of acquisition of the research and innovation consulting services provided to SMEs by national laboratories – “Vale I&DT” and “Vale Inovação” programmes. The “Vale I&DT” programme aims to support companies so that they can acquire research and development services that will improve their products, processes or services. On the other hand, the “Vale Inovação” programme is used for consulting services and to support innovation systems.
Incentive System of Collective Actions (SIAC): links between business and innovation support organizations (universities, polytechnics, clusters and competitive poles, incubators, science and technology parks and other entities that support business).

39. Funding of Research Projects
Support System for Entities of National Scientific and Technological System (SAESCTN): objective of stimulating internationalization and cooperation among universities and the main labs and research centers in scientific areas.
Support System for Parks of Science and Technology and Incubators of Technology-based Companies

42. THE TECHNOLOGY PLAN THE MOBI.E PROJECT – RESULTS
CRITICAL SOFTWARE, INTELI E NOVABASE levam Mobi.e para Xangai
A Mobi.e, entidade gestora da rede de mobilidade eléctrica em Portugal, foi o parceiro escolhido para montar um modelo congénere em Xangai, anunciou ontem o coordenador do projecto, João Dias, no que representa o primeiro passo na internacionalização que a rede portuguesa tem procurado desde a sua constituição.
EFACEC fornece 900 carregadores aos EUA
"A Efacec vai fornecer 900 carregadores rápidos (carregam em aproximadamente 30 minutos) de veículos eléctricos à empresa norte- americana 350 Green, num contrato cujo valor global se cifra nos 25 milhões de euros", escreve o Jornal de Negócios.
Em declarações aos Negócios, João Bento, presidente da Efacec adiantou que esta é a maior encomenda de carregadores rápidos da história da humanidade, uma vez que não há neste momento nenhum processo estruturado de fornecimento de carregadores rápidos desta dimensão, de 900 de uma vez, explicou.

43. THE TECHNOLOGY PLAN
Communication network - new generation

44. Some benchmarking
The total expense in R&D in Portugal has attained in ,71% of GDP (0,80% in 2005)
Portugal has attained the level of 8,2 Researchers (ETI) in thousand active population, equivalent to researchers in ETI (surpassing the objective of the Technology Plan which was 6 researchers for thousand active population )
Portugal has been the Third Country in UE27 with the biggest growth in Patents registered having for the first time attained the level of 100 european patebst demands (26%),  

45. Some benchmarking
The Exports of the 100 firms with more investment in R&D in has represented more thna 25% of the total exports of Portugal and has grown four tiems faster than that total
The Value Added of the 100 firms with more investment in R&D in 2008 has grown at 12% almost tem times superior to the VAT of the portuguese economy between 2007 and 2008

46. Some benchmarking
In the “European Innovation Scoreboard 2009”, Portugal has been the 7th Country that had the biggest upgrade in the INNOVATION RANKING on the UE 27 (surpassing countries like Spain, Italy and Greece)  
The Community Innovation Survey, 2008 (CIS2008) points out that between , e 2008, Portugal has been the 4th Country in UE with more innovative firms 
The Global Competitiveness Report (Setember 2010) of World Economic Forum, indicates that Portugal has made new progresses in the INNOVATION ranking, being in the 32th position in the ranking of 139 countries
