Supporting Innovation• From FP5 to FP7 2011: 5% projects � new companies

38% projects � permanent job

•WP 2013 : emphasis on “from discovery to market uptake”.

FAFB – 2013


Several topics require / encourage:► Proof-of-concept, prototyping, demonstration (16 topics)

e.g. demonstrating the potential of biotechnological applications

► Knowledge transfer and exploitation of results (23 topics)e.g. network for transfer of knowledge on traditional food to SMEs

► Demand-side measures, such as pre-commercial procurement or standardisation activities (4 topics)e.g. standardisation, labelling and procurement for bio-based products

• Bottom-up approaches with cross-cutting and cross-thematic topics, allowing for participants to freely develop their solutions to achieve the expected impact (6 topics)

e.g. generating tools and methods for synthetic biotechnology applications


Strengthening SME participation ● In FP7 KBBE 2012 selected proposals: 36% SMEs, 26%budget

● In 2013, continued focus on industrial and SME participation:

►SMEs as key players to foster innovation

FAFB – 2013


►Almost 20% of budget earmarked for SME participants

►A majority of topics have ring-fenced budget for SMEs: EU contribution for SMEs varies

from 10% up to 75 % of topics’ budget (27 topics)

e.g. - boosting the translation of FP projects' results into application in agriculture, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture (min 50% SMEs)

- exploitation of FP projects' results in food, health and well-being by SMEs (min 75% SMEs)
