Digitising European Industry: A key role for Europe's digital competence centres

• Dra. Francesca Flamigni, Project OfficerDG CONNECT/A3, European Commission

• 31 May 2016

• Measures that enable all sectors to benefit from digital innovation:

• For higher value products with "digital inside"

• Increased efficiency of processes

• Adapted and reshaped business models including relevant services

• How DSM contributes to digitisation of EU industry

• EU cloud initiative, Standardisation strategy, Forthcoming free flow of data, skills and jobs, EFSI, Regional policies, SMS, eGov action plan, Telecom review, Innovrefit.

• Coordination of various initiatives - MS, regional, EU

• Pool resources, avoid fragmentation and support DSM

What is this about?

DIGITISING EUROPEAN INDUSTRYEuropean Commission proposal

• + €110bn annual revenue over next 5 years

40% of value added of cars comes from digital innovations

• - €600 Bill. annually if we don’t act

If Europe is slow in in digital transformation

• +10 % in industry Added Value

What is at stake?

Digital Transformation

Innovation in products,

processes and business models

AI (autonomus systems)

Robotics, automation, machine learning, self-

driving,..

IoT (physical meets digital)

Embedded software, sensors, connectivity, actuators, low

power ICT, …

Big data (value from

knowledge)

Analytics, storage, Cloud HPC,..

DIGITISING EUROPEAN INDUSTRYEuropean Initiatives on Digitising Industry

Linking up and coordinating EU, national and regional initiatives

Target

• Establish a coordination framework to

• facilitate the coordination of EU and national initiatives

• mobilise stakeholders, and resources across the value chain,

• exchange best practices

How

• High-level roundtables

• Annual stakeholder forum

• Specific working groups

• Catalogue of national and regional initiatives and priorities.

DIGITISING EUROPEAN INDUSTRYEuropean Commission proposal

Access to digital technologiesSpurring bottom up innovation

Target

• Access to digital technologies and expertise

• within "working distance"

• for any industry in Europe

• with a focus on: SMEs, mid-caps, non-tech

How

• "Digital Innovation Hubs" across Europe :

• provide industry with access to technology, expertise, testing,.. based on world-class specialised competence centre

• Networking DIH to ensure a one-stop-shop for industry

• Public procurement of innovations

• sharing innovation risk with industry

• Thematic smart specialisation platform

• industrial modernisation (June 2016)

Who does what?

• Regions/MSs

• Establish/reinforce competence centres

• Across Europe – specific support for regions without DIH

• Implement relevant activities if needed (incentives, …)

• Collaborate with digital innovation hubs of other regions

• to fill gaps and facilitate specialisation and excellence

• Commission:

• Support pan-European networking of Digital Innovation Hubs

• Share best practices, success stories, training

• Develop catalogue of Hubs, competences, etc

• Promote use of EU and other funds (ESIF, EFSI)

• Industry

• Engage with competence centres, help set priorities,..

Competence centres (60) in I4MSICT Innovation for Manufacturing SMEs

ICT Innovation for Manufacturing SMEs

110 M€ of EU funding - 11 large projects 70 competence centres 280 experiments: 75% cross-border 480 contractors. Out of which 340 industrial:

75% SMEs and mid caps, 50% users, 65% new in EU R&I Programmes

29 Members States and Ass. Countries Focus on 4 areas of ICT adoption in the FoF:

HPC cloud-based simulation and analytics services Industrial robotics systems Laser-based manufacturing, additive manufacturing Smart sensor systems, CPS and IoT

Expanding the ecosystem Provide "glue" for natl/regl initiatives Expand into "all" regions

Phase 1 – FP7 WP2013Start-up the I4MS Ecosystem

Phase 2 – H2020 WP 2014/15Organically grow the I4MS Ecosystem

Phase 3 – H2020 WP 2016/17Nurture the ecosystem:

Concentrate on EU added value

Organically grow the I4MS ecosystem

Regions/MSs with Digitising Industry initiatives

Establish a catalogue of initiatives EU-wide

Reinforce roots/links to national/regional initiatives

Further concentrate EU funding on cross-border experiments

Other regions, in particular less developed regions

Launch a Mentoring & Sponsorship programme for new hubs

Co-fund innovation hubs thru EFSI, ESIF, innovation vouchers

Identify international collaboration opportunities

Cloud-based CFD simulationfor hypercars• Koenigsegg are EU Hypercar

manufacturer … and an SME

• In-house CFD too expensive– Cloud is compelling option

• Impressive results• 250% increase in downforce with only 15% increase in drag

• Key technologies and their integration across all sectors

• Cross-sector digital platforms

• Development environment: reference implementation and experimentation environments in real setting.

• The challenge

• Reinforce the role of PPPs as vehicles for EU-wide strategies:

• Key strategic industrial priorities, e.g. The EU Cloud Initiative

• Mobilising EU and national investments

• Building on strengths in vertical markets

• Develop Europe's presence in cross sector platforms

• (IoT, Data, web, consumer,..)
