Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
What is innovation?
A complex problem not always understood (eg the OECD Oslo manual describes the subject extensively)But widely discussedAnd very high on the political agenda
Requiring a complex set of actions and measures
Both to stimulate creativity of individuals, organisations and societies and to overcome a long list of obstacles
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
A.A. Why a European policy Why a European policy for innovation?for innovation?
• The European pardox and its consequences• The need to address it
=Shared but distinct reponsibilities of :
Members States & Associated States Industries European Union European citizens ( entrepreneurs !)
The Lisbon and Goeteborg strategy
= Innovation ,research ,education
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
B. EU policy for B. EU policy for innovationinnovation
1. Creating more knowledge2. Letting knowledge circulate3. Protecting knowledge 4. Transforming knowledge into
innovation in products, processes services
5. Assessing and managing progress towards Lisbon objectives
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
1. Creating more knowledge more efficiently
Lisbon objective :3% of the GDP for research
How? More investment in research by industryMore synergies between public research activities
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
More Investment by industry in research
This implies:
Willingness/ability of companies to consider RTD as a key investment
Availability of human resources
Specific solutions for SMEs
Broader dissemination of BATs (best available technologies )
Public programmes stimulating industrial participation
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
More cooperation between national research activities
+/- 90% of public research in national programmes:
bring more synergies through the ERA approach
use ERANETs and ERANET + Schemes:• Shared knowledge • Joint calls
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
A Stronger EU framework Programme for research
Higher budget
Longer duration: from 5 to years (2007-2013)
Diversified means:• from basic research (ERC)• to applied research• to specific support to SMEs
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
2. Letting knowledge circulate
Education & training = a national responsability
BUT
European Union can help to support : Mobility:
• of researchers (Marie Curie scheme)• of students• of teachers • of adults
Exchange of experiences, joint curricula with other universities
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
3. Protecting knowledge
Improving European patent system (still in discussion) including an integrated litigation system
Improving support to industry (including SMEs)and universities about IPR:
• removing barriers to access• raising awareness• enhancing European Union IPR helpdesk
Developing an IPR strategy: • better balance users/rightholder• new challenges with new technologies & new business
models
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
4. Transforming knowledge into innovation
A global imperative for all European countries is:
Research advances in converging technologies (nano, bio, ICT,materials) provide opportunities for new products and services
Increasingly difficult to compete on low tech’ products and services
(bring added value to « traditional » products: new functionalities, etc)
High tech (and BATs) the only solution to address sustainability, an issue for all economies
(increasing scarcity and price of energy, of commodities, of water, peak oil prospects ..)
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
How to achieve that?
Bring knowledge nearer to:
IndustryMarketsGeneral public
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
European efforts to strengthen innovation
through industry’s involment European Technology Platforms:
• long term visions 2015-2020• SRAs• Roadmaps
to identify common challenges,objectives and opportunities.Already influencing European Union and national activities (national TPs)
Joint Technologies Innitiatives on:• innovative medecine• embedded computing systems Presented • aeronautics• nano electronics
• hydrogen & fuel cells Prepared • GMES
1Bn € (RSFF) to help finance 10bn€ more risky projects

More innovation supportive markets
Innovation in public procurement (PP)Handbook for innovative solutions in PPEuropean network of procurement agencies
(good practices; assistance to practitioners)
Review standardisation policyMake it more efficient More innovative oriented (consultation
with stakeholders in ICT)
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
Targeting lead markets
i.e. markets with high economic and social value = eHealth: ICT solutions for patient and medical services Sustainable construction Technical textiles (intelligent protective clothing) Innovative use of bio-based products Recycling Renewable energy
Identify policy actions to support them: regulation; standardisation; labelling; certification; PP; IPR…
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
Coping with emergence of a new business model
« networked enterprise » conceptGrowing importance of intangiblesIncreased and interactive links to
consumers/suppliersNeed to abandon linearityGrowing integration of product and
service dimension
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
Answering people’s needs and concerns
Needs linked to Demographic changes (new products and services for
ageing populations) Changes in values and behaviours (fast growing niche
markets for environmental and ethical products and services)
Concerns about potential risks of new technology Health and safety (nanotechologies…) Ethics (biomedicine; stem cells;) to ensure acceptability Privacy
Common approaches or legal frameworks at European level … building on good science!
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
Assessing progress towards Lisbon
objectives At political level
Review process and follow-up guides EU agenda and work of successive Presidencies
At national and technical levelPolicy process requiring good metricsBut how to measure innovation? To assess
progress made?Various indicators and methods exist but are
not perfect: (publications; patents; licences; spin-off companies; standards…)
Bench-marking and exchange of experience at EU level
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
Where are we seven years after Lisbon?
Political commitment remains but progress is unequal:Member states cooperate; exchange views;
prepare follow-up3% objective not yet reached and uneven
progress so farSuccess of new EU instruments (eg Innovat and
Pro Inno portals)Decision on FP7 and first JTIs or lead marketsAttempts to reorient Structural Funds to better
support LisbonConsider also potential of cooperation between
regions; of eco-innovation
Istanbul Chamber of Industry – 26-27/11/2007
What are the messages for
industry? Think ahead (potential of technologies; of
changing needs of markets and consumers; of emerging constraints)
Participate in the creation and use of knowledge (BATs; standards; improved links with universities; retraining and reskilling of workforce etc)
Use diversity of EU and national instruments supporting innovation and….
Encourage entrepreneurial SPIRIT among the young!
