Key Enabling Technologies, Strategy
Addressing important challenges for
Europe
Innovation is an engine for growth, R&D
investments essential for generating growth
and high quality jobs
EU industry needs to invest more in R&D&I
Re-industrialisation can only be achieved if
the public authorities/ regional authorities work
together with private sector

Horizon 2020 (2014-2020): Key elements • A single programme with three pillars: societal challenges, industrial competitiveness and excellence in science • More emphasis on innovation • More involvement of industry via the industrial deployment of key enabling technologies, and through PPPs (Public-Private Partnerships) - institutional and contractual • Simplified access for all stakeholders
Industrial Leadership ICT, Key Enabling Technologies (KETs), Space • Emphasis on R&D and innovation with strong industrial dimension - partnership with industry, to recover from economic crisis • Activities primarily developed through relevant industrial roadmaps (ETPs, PPPs) • Involvement of industrial participants and SMEs to maximise expected impact => key aspect of proposal evaluation • Pilots and demonstrators, cross-cutting KETs, enabling applications in Societal Challenges • Outcome and impact oriented, developing key technology building blocks and bringing them closer to the market 5
H2020-LEIT work programme(2014-2015)
• Technology development, application driven and of direct industrial
relevance
• Pilot lines for advanced KETs – using advanced manufacturing
technologies, eg
• Photonics, nano-technologies, advanced materials
• KETs for healthcare/personalised medicine, low-carbon energy
technologies and energy efficiency
• Public Private Partnerships
• Joint Technology Initiatives: ECSEL, BBI Bio-Based Industries
• cPPPs: Robotics, Photonics, Advanced 5G Network Infrastructures,
Factories of the Future (FoF), Energy-efficient Buildings (EeB),
Sustainable Process Industry (SPIRE), European Green Vehicles
Initiative, High-performance Computing
In line with EU KETs strategy
20+ topics considered relevant for synergies between EU and
national / regional research & innovation programmes and/or
ESIF (11 topics in 2015 NMBP WP)
Preparation of Work Programme
(2016-2017) is ongoing
Continue the challenge-based approach with tight impact
requirements;

What does H2020 fund?
Relevant for synergies with ESIF:
• Research and innovation actions
• Innovation actions
o Consortia with minimum 3 partners from minimum 3 different
MS or associated countries
• Coordination and support actions
• ERA-NET co-fund actions
o Networks of funding agencies, funding research calls with
minimum 2 partners from 2 different MS or associated
countries
• Innovative/Pre-comercial procurement 8
How did we address the issue of
synergies?
• ERA-NET co-fund actions: Networks of funding agencies,
funding research calls with minimum 2 partners from 2
different MS or associated countries. => eg. INCOMERA
(ERA-NET funding innovation), MANUNET (ERA-NET funding
Manufacturing)
• In the work programme, by encouraging participants to
look for synergies.
• Coordination and support actions on:
Facilitating knowledge management, networking and coordination in
NMP –SYNAMERA Project, start date: 1 May 2015
Practical experience and facilitating combined funding for large-scale
RDI initiatives- EU GREAT Project, start date: 1 January 2015

Synergies encouraged in the WPs (2014-2015) • NMBP: "Wherever possible, proposers could actively seek synergies, including possibilities for funding, with relevant national / regional research and innovation programmes and/or cumulative funding with European Structural and Investment Funds in connection with smart specialisation strategies. For this purpose the tools provided by the Smart Specialization Platform, Eye@RIS3 may be useful. The initial exploitation and business plans will address such synergies and/or additional funding. Exploitation plans, outline financial arrangements and any follow-up will be developed further during the project. The results of these activities as well as the envisaged further activities in this respect should be described in the final report of the project."
Synergies encouraged in the WPs (2014-2015) • ICT: "Wherever appropriate, actions could seek synergies and co-financing from relevant national / regional research and innovation programmes, e.g. structural funds addressing smart specialisation. Actions combining different sources of financing should include a concrete financial plan detailing the use of these funding sources for the different parts of their activities."
Why are Synergies important for
innovation ?
• Obtaining more impacts on competitiveness, jobs and
growth by combining ESIF and Horizon 2020
• Increased funding for research and innovation available
under regional funding => Smart Specialisation:
strategic framework to access funding for Research and
Innovation in Structural Funds 2014-2020
• Support from other EU, national or regional programmes
encouraged (supported or not by ESIF)
• Exploit complementarities while at the same time avoid
overlaps and exclude double-financing.
12Opportunities for innovating along and across the value chain for KETs • Structuring the regional stakeholders around an innovation cluster. • Linking value chain activities through cross- cluster and cross-region cooperation. • Supporting innovative SMEs. • Supporting Manufacturing Platforms & Pilot Production Lines. • Supporting Large Scale Deployment Actions.
How can stakeholders benefit from
both instruments?

agreementsPotential cases of combining Horizon 2020 &
ESIF for the same industrial project
1. Simultaneous / additional / parallel use of funds for the same industrial
project:
e.g. H2020 money and ESIF that are used together to fund different cost
items within a single industrial project
2. Sequential funding for an industrial project: the sequential use (in time) of
different public funding sources in separate successive subprojects of the
same industrial project
e.g. first ESIF for R&I infrastructure, then H2020 for innovation activities;
e.g. R&I activities using H2020, followed by industrial investments
In both cases:
distinguished, self-standing arrangements based on programme
rules – one would e.g. be H2020 grant agreement
Industrial projects need financial engineering
15Plan your industrial project:
• Define scope of industrial project (incl. beneficiaries), detailed activities,
budget (private/public).
• Look at eligibility of activities: localisation (eg. region), type of cost items
(e.g equipment, direct personnel cost) in combination with beneficiaries and
timeline.
• Prepare business plan for industrial project: group activities in projects
(set of cost items for certain beneficiaries), identify costs and funding options
for each (ESIF, Horizon 2020, national funds), contact Managing Authorities.
• Prepare Horizon 2020 proposal (project and consortium), look into the
rules for obtaining support => H2020 competitive procedures-Calls for
proposals- Evaluation criteria + procedures
• Prepare ESIF proposal (project and beneficiary) for each region/country
involved talking into account Smart Specialisation Strategies, ESIF: EU
countries administer the funds on a decentralised basis through shared
management
• Submit Horizon 2020 and ESIF proposals including master plan for
industrial project
16Basic budgetary principles ("no cheating")
"non Substitution” principle
• The use of a Union funding instrument to substitute the non-Union
contribution to another Union instrument is not allowed: ESIF
cannot be used to substitute the national or private contribution
to H2020 projects.
"no double funding” principle
• It will be possible to award a grant under Horizon 2020 for an
industrial project which is also funded by an ESIF grant but the
absence of double funding should be ensured.
17How can regions help? • Establish a map of the regional knowledge (RIS3 Platform). • Focus on commercialisation, and enable regional manufacturing activities, even using results obtained in another region, bring back and anchor manufacturing activities in EU. • Gather and pool all the regional expertise in order to be able to find the best partners. • Use the same wording and phraseology as the one use in KETs in order to tackle differences in terms of innovation and business focus. • Make the connections between the regions easier, according to their need and strengths. • Consider funding and reporting rules.

required for supporting SME's transnational/regional
cooperation, within the context of each region's smart
specialization strategy for enhancing the
commercialization/productivity plans of NMP consortia.
• Key Enabling Technologies and especially the NMP thematic area have been
identified as a clear priority for investments in the EU notably within the
context of smart specialization. INCOMERA will perform a thorough cross-
regional analysis of competencies as well as of "needs, wants and
expectations" of every regional ecosystem with the aim to support projects
of beneficiaries with complementary skills and expertise, by involving both
downstream and upstream partners across the value chain.
• INCOMERA gathers together national and regional agencies that use their
own funding programmes to fund NMP research and development projects
performed by companies, research centers and universities.
• INCOMERA is a network focused on SME, willing to fund projects above TRL4.
48INCOMERA CALL FOR PROPOSALS
• The project proposals must clearly have the objective:
To develop a radical product innovation to an end-user context, possibly
leading to market application
To develop a radical process innovation to a pilot scale
To widen the understanding of a radical innovation by the application of
a material or process from a specific to a generic application.
• The scope of the call is:
Nanosciences and nanotechnologies,
Materials,
New production,
Integration of technologies for industrial applications.
• The objective of INCOMERA is to bridge the gap between proof of concept
validated in a laboratory, and industrialization and commercialization.
Projects funded with INCOMERA should take up results at laboratory level
and bring them to the level of a pilot-line and/or to a functional
demonstrator validated by end-users.
49More information in www.incomera.eu
50BOTH ERA-NETS
• Are actively using Smart Specialization Strategies to build up/expand
the consortia and define the call topics
• Are cross-sectoral KETs
• Are ideal complementary programmes halfway between the Horizon
2020 and the national/regional funding programmes
• Fund transnational projects through Regional Funds, using ESIF in
some cases

How EU-GREAT started?
• Innovation policy shifts globally towards valorisation of
research into commercial products, services &
production.
• Higher need for investments together with public/private
partnerships needed to increase the number of large-
scale RDI initiatives, to boost the commercialisation and
strengthen the competitive-edge of the European Industry.
• A definition of “Large scale RDI initiatives” including a
classification of different types is a pre-requisite.
• Decision making processes concerning funding and
investment need to be connected.
