7 Global Trends è Globalization and internationalization è The innovation processes have evolved è Grand societal challenges ahead Bild 7

8 Trends Globalization and Internationalization è New growth markets è The economy is increasingly international in all respects è The strong concentration of R&D in a small number of companies in Sweden has changed and decreased è Sweden must keep and develop its attractiveness as a knowledge-rich, innovative country Bild 8

9 Trends Innovation Processes Have Evolved è Increased complexity è New business logic Broader collaboration around new knowledge, new processes and new constellations

10 Trends Societal Challenges è Threat if not addressed è Global challenges have been identified has a strong driving force for innovation e.g. EU2020 and in the US. The demand for solutions create business opportunities for new innovative products, services and processes Bild 10

11 Grand Challenges and Transport è The greatest challenge: emissions and their influence on green house effect and secure fuel supply è The transport system is responsible for one of the greatest health problems in modern society è Globalization leads to longer haul transports and a greater number of stakeholders, which increases logistic complexity. è Technical breakthroughs in certain areas, e.g. in ICT and energy, are already and will continue to be strong drivers for change in the transport sector.

12 Transport related solutions to challenges Traffic safety, noise and air pollution Logistics, new materials, new vehicle production Future Health and Health Sustainable Care cities Competitive production Production The A Sustainable sustainable information Information society Society ITS Mobility people and goods Future Sustainable Health Attractive and Health Cities care Bild 12

13 Trends for Swedish Public funding of R&D in Transport è In 2004 the strategy shifted from a call-focused funding policy to a center of excellence focused policy, e.g SAFER, CTS etc.., in order to better face international competition. Critical mass increasingly important. è 2009: Strategic Research Areas, SFO Chalmers and KTH è Now Challenge-driven Focus on creating milieus that facilitate innovation and foster collaborative efforts for faster, smarter development and more rapid implementation of new or improved products, services or processes in the transport sector Demonstrators Increased inter-disciplinary collaboration, e.g. ICT and Transport Bild 13

14 Examples from the VINNOVA portfolio è On-going R&I programs: FFI (automotive), NFFP (aeronautics), Environmental innovations, Program for policy development, Challenge driven innovation etc. è Centers: SAFER, CTS, ECO2, SAMOT, CLOSER, VIP, Lighthouse è Special investments: Test Site Sweden è Forum for Innovation in the Transport Sector è Under development: Center for Public Transport, Sustainable Cities Innovation Platforms Bild 14

15 Challenge-driven innovation New program launched in 2011 Slide 15

16 Global business opportunities will be created for those who find solutions Slide 16

17 Innovated in Sweden Global demand export potential Slide 17

18 Challenges to be addressed Future Health and Health Sustainable Care cities Competitive production Production The A Sustainable sustainable information Information society Society Future Sustainable Health Attractive and Health Cities care Bild 18

19 Main principles First round of approx 100 projects has just been selected Over 1/ 3 with focus on Sustainable Attractive Cities Initial funding for developing ideas and building consortia. Funding for the most promising projects will be increased using a stage-gate investment model. è Active involvement of users/customers in developing and testing solutions è Fostering systemic approaches, which address different social subsystems, framework conditions, political, commercial, technological subsystems, etc. è Global market relevance very important criteria Bild 19

20 Details Project type (A) è New constellations è Keywords: Idea development Constellation-building è Typical targets: Identified solutions Reliable constellation è Max. SEK 750,000 è Duration: 4.5 months è Co-financing: no requirement Project type (B) è Existing constellations è Keywords: Multisectoral innovation Development, integration and testing è Typical targets: Tested and integrated solutions Identification of obstacles to implementation è Max. SEK 10,000,000 è Duration: 2 years è Co-financing: at least 50% Slide 20

21 Investment per project Number of projects Project type A Project type B Project type C Investment model Slide 21

22 Sustainable Attractive Cities Market-adapted system solutions for sustainable urban planning Making existing solutions saleable in larger systems. Innovative solutions, for example within organisations, business models, risk-sharing and financing. Resource efficiency and low environmental impact for a long-term sustainable city Recycling/reusing, WS, ecosystem services, planning and building processes which consider the environment, support for a more environmentally friendly daily life for city inhabitants. Information management, transport and logistics for an attractive city Working infrastructure for supplying goods, energy, information and other things; physical and digital logistics/ availability; control of complex systems. Slide 22

23 The result è 635 applications in total è 596 applied for project type A and the rest B è 95 applications project type A granted in total Bild 23

24 Examples: Traffic & Transport è City traffic management è Multi-modal traffic optimization for sustainable river transport è Demonstration of innovative solutions for parking and mobility è Infrastructure for sustainable personal transport è Traveller centered innovation for sustainable personal transport in urban areas è Sustainable freight transport in urban areas Bild 24
