7 Results of TWI survey Deliverable D2.1: European technological water innovations in a Europe-China context
8 Comparative analysis: Selection of up to 20 TWIs for each are/domain and assigning to one of following 6 categories: Sector Category 1 Category 2 Category 3 Category 4 Category 5 Total Agricultural water management Municipal water management Industrial water management River basin management Water for energy Total Category 4: Innovative solutions available in the EU but not in China
9 WP 3: Drivers and barriers Drivers and barriers most important for successful technology implementation/replication European Innovation Partnership Water has stated that Europe is very strong on research but fails to turn knowledge into added value for society and markets European Innovation Partnership Water (2012). Strategic Implementation Plan, Brussels.
10 Drivers and barriers Approach Identification of drivers in water sector Strong policy drivers Water Ten regulations (Water Pollution Prevention and Control) 13 th Five Year Plan More specific drivers to sub-sectors Identification of barriers General barriers in water sector Barriers for specific technology categories Barriers for subsectors/domains and specific barriers to selected TWIs
11 Drivers and barriers General barriers in water sector Market understanding / language Market/public acceptance of new technologies Promoted/closed lists for imports and market access Localisation of technology Certification and approval of technologies Identification of clients Procurement routes Business registration and banking Reliable partners for distribution, installation, training and operation IPR Protection and copying
12 Drivers and barriers Barriers for specific technology categories Classification in four main technology categories Monitoring Type of approval Distribution, support and maintenance Copying by local competitors Modelling Data access, lack of data Communication of meaning of results Hacking, copying of IPR Costs General preference for local versions of free software (eg EPA)
13 Drivers and barriers Barriers for specific technology categories Integrated management systems / controls Local certification requirements Import and customs restrictions Distribution, support and maintenance Costs, IPRs Technologies / Products Easily copied by local manufacturers Advanced treatment technologies struggle on costs Standards not high enough yet to drive the market Import and costumes
14 PIANO WP4 Task 4: Elaboration of a shared strategic research and innovation agenda for EU-China water cooperation The specific objective of the Task 4 is the elaboration of a shared strategic research and innovation agenda for EU and China in the water sector. The agenda implementation includes 4 sub-tasks: Task 4a Comparative analysis of existing research and innovation agendas with China Task 4b Proposal of a shared research agenda Is further research required to overcome any of the identified barriers? Is research required for joint development on solutions for water challenges that are currently missing? Task 4c Proposal of a shared innovation agenda Innovation agenda that will help to create market opportunities in China, eg pilot and demonstration projects Task 4d Finalization of a shared research and innovation agenda (SIA) 14
15 Task 4a Comparative analysis of existing research and innovation agendas with China The elaboration of the PIANO Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA), was based on a comparative analysis of existing research and innovation agendas, aimed to explore and compare needs, topics and actions, listed within each agenda. The agendas taken in consideration were referred to international programs involving EU and China institutions and they have proved very useful in identifying key technology areas of interest, in order to tackle the main, present and future, water challenges. 15
16 International Agendas: 1. WssTp European Technological Platform on Water 2. Water JPI Strategic Research and Innovation 3. EIP Partnership on Water 4. Acqueau Strategic Research Agenda 5. European Commission: Blueprint to Safeguard Europe s Water Resources 6. ASEM documents on water 7. China s water resources management challenge: The three red lines National Agendas: 1. Connect-EU Water Group Strategic Research Agenda 2012 (Spain) 2. International Strategy for Finland s Water Sector (Finland) 3. Italian strategic research agenda: National strategy on adaptation to the climate change (Italy) 16
17 Task 4a Comparative analysis of existing research and innovation agendas with China First step for building a shared research and innovation agenda for Europe and China water cooperation was a comparative analysis of existing reports and agendas developed in Europe and China on R&I. Classifying of almost all water related challenges within five broad categories in the themes of water management (water scarcity, water pollution, droughts and floods; ecosystem degradation; water infrastructure issues). Furthermore, a sixth category bringing together cross-cutting issues has been introduced in order to consider those actions not directly related to water technology, such as the implementation of environmental regulations and laws, actions to encourage social acceptance of the reuse of water, as well as water-saving policies, capacity-building activities and general social policies. 17
18 For each analyzed agenda, an organized list of research and innovation needs as well as actions and measures was framed in the common scheme: Water Innovation drivers (water challenges) and Key water domains: 18
