Máire Geoghegan-Quinn:

•  "more and smarter" investment in both public and private research and development to make the leap from 2% to the 3% of GDP target;

•  more research cooperation within the EU and internationally; •  better use of research results, including through a stronger

intellectual property regime;

•  adapting education systems to business innovation needs; •  more encouragement for innovative and fast-growing SMEs;

•  a stronger focus on innovation tackling global challenges such as climate change, energy, food security and health;

•  and last but not least, closing the gender gap in science careers, so as to make the most of all our talents.

Innovation?

•  Make things happen!

•  Science based linear innovation is NOT mainstream anymore!

•  User-centric innovation •  Open innovation •  Systemic innovation •  Experimental mash-up

•  Require •  Environments with courage •  Funding with courage •  Processes with courage (curiosity, exploration)

•  Is Europe a good place to merge these? Values, ways of doing business, links cross-border? Technology infrastructure? Leadership?

Stimulate Innovation from ICT Use

•  Users turn from objects to active subjects •  Involve the user early (in all her/his roles)

•  A European tradition: user participation early in the process •  Advanced user communities; •  Strong user industries in Europe

automotive, aerospace, medical, pharmaceuticals, financial services, etc. •  Bring technology closer to people and organisational needs

•  Make ICT simpler to use, available and affordable •  Make ICT more trusted and reliable

•  Support innovative digital content and services that adapt to users’ context •  Respond to evolving societal demand: e.g. higher ICT literacy,

ageing,.. •  Societal innovation

Externally focused, collaborative innovation Open Innovation

•  Introduced by the IU Communication - Issues §  Major societal challenges §  Many actions, uncoordinated

- R&D programmes / demand-side actions - EU / national / regional (and global)

•  To address these issues, European Innovation Partnerships will be:

§  Not a new instrument alongside the others; but §  Frameworks bringing together main actors, policies and actions at EU and

national levels, from research to market, around common objectives and targets

•  Launched and planned: §  Active Ageing (SANCO+INFSO) §  Plans: "Promote EU's competitiveness in the digital society" …and new ways

of trustworthy communication, …enabled notably by the internet of the future.

European Innovation Partnerships

Announcement in MFF

•  Connecting Europe Facility to promote the completion of •  "transport core network" •  "energy priority corridors" •  and key digital infrastructure

•  It will combine market based instruments and EU direct support in order to optimise the impact of financing

Envisaged budget the MFF proposal 2014-2020

•  Energy EUR 9,1 billion

•  Transport EUR 21,7 billion euro (+ EUR 10 billion)

•  ICT EUR 9,2 billion

Total budget envelope for CEF: EUR 50 billion

Case for EU investment

1. Current level of investment is not sufficient to ensure growth

2. No agreement on investment between incumbents and competitors, high cost of capital and high perceived risks

4. Core layers of digital services will not be financed by MS or private operators

5. Interoperability, standards and cross-border problems for digital services

3. No business case in rural and (in most) suburban areas

Broadband networks

Digital Services

Mutual reinforcement approach

-  Financing deployment of 30 Mb broadband networks trough CEF

1. Broadband networks roll-out - Creating critical mass and potential markets for

applications

2. Enhanced supply of broadband

- Enhanced supply of digital services will create

foster new applications that will in turn need more bandwidth

4. Enhance demand for broadband - Digital services deployed by the CEF act as

European public goods (core layer)s

3. Development of digital services
