Industrial Technology in Horizon 2020 - KETs and PPPs - SPIRE Søren Bøwadt DG Research and Innovation Directorate Industrial Technologies
Horizon 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 - institutional and contractual Simplified access for all stakeholders
Horizon 2020 Excellent science European Research Council Future and EmergingTechnologies Marie Curie actions Research infrastructures Industrial leadership Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies Access to risk finance Innovation in SMEs Societal challenges Health, demographic change and wellbeing Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research & the bioeconomy Secure, clean and efficient energy Smart, green and integrated transport Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials Inclusive societies Secure societies
Industrial deployment of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) What are KETs? Strategic technologies Driving competitiveness and growth opportunities Contributions to solving societal challenges Knowledge- and Capitalintensive Cut across many sectors Nanotechnologies Advanced Materials Micro- and nano-electronics Photonics Biotechnology Advanced Manufacturing EC Communications (2009)512 & (2012)341 KET High-level Group
Horizon 2020: Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies A common approach to enabling and industrial technologies: o o o o ICT (incl. 2 KETs: micro and nano-electronics, photonics) Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Advanced Manufacturing and Processing Biotechnology Space Innovation: Emphasis on technology development, industrialscale pilots and demonstrators, prototyping and product validation Specific support for cross-cutting KETs (combinations of KETs) Strong focus on leveraging private sector investment Critical role of PPPs to implement KET related activities
Promote the "enabling" nature of KETs High potential of KETs to create most advanced products In H2020: Support of cross-cutting KET R&D activities to promote high potential of combination and integration of different KETs Strong focus on the contribution of KETs to societal challenges, including the provision of clean water, waste treatment for recycling purposes, maintenance of buildings, low-carbon manufacturing etc
KETs contribute to Horizon 2020 through the innovation chain Future and Emerging Technologies (FET): address grand science and technology challenges which require a research effort for a period of up to 10 years. Societal challenges and "focus areas": concentration of effort and resources, in order to maximise impacts. Strongly underpinned by innovation potential of KETs. LEIT: boosting the industrial deployment of enabling technologies
LEIT Addresses the whole innovation chain An impact oriented approach Support activities with technology readiness levels spanning from the low end to highest levels preceding commercialisation (LEIT spans TRLs 3-8) Dedicated support will be provided for larger-scale pilot lines and demonstrator projects Integration of commercialisation readiness activities
LEIT Promote involvement of industry To enhance synergies between research and industry Strategic research and innovation agendas defined by industry and business, together with the research community With a strong focus on leveraging private sector investment SME targeted activities, such as integrated approach for SMEs and SME Instrument PPPs used for the implementation of KETs in areas such as the Factories of the Future, Energy-efficient Buildings, the Sustainable Process Industry and Green Vehicles

What are the benefits? Long-term commitments and strategies Increased efficiency Covering whole value chain and interrelated sectors High level SME participation Expanding technological competencies and skills Shortening time to market
LEIT and SPIRE supports the full value chain of the PROCESS industry From Base Chemicals and Fuels over new Carbon Nanotubes, Nano-structured Catalysts, new Chemical Pathways to Hybrid Materials for Membranes, Electronics and Lighting as well as New Process Technologies, Structural Materials for Manufacturing and Construction and Business Models. Most of the essential tools, materials and production technologies to achieve the main Europe 2020 goals
Work Programme topics Structure reflects the challenge-based approach: 3 key features Specific Challenge - sets context, problem to be addressed, why intervention is needed Scope - delineates the problem, specifies the focus and the boundaries of the potential action BUT without overly describing specific approaches Expected Impact - describes the key elements of what is expected to be achieved in relation to the specific challenge 14

Sustainable Process Industry (SPIRE) PPP
Why is the process industry considered a strategic domain? EU process industries sit at the core of most industrial value chains. The 8 EU industrial sectors covered by SPIRE, represent together around 6.8 million jobs in 450,000 enterprises, with over 1,600 billion/year in turnover. Due to the nature of the industrial operations involved, with high dependence from resources (energy, materials and water), the process industry has significant environmental impact. This industrial domain is struggling to compete at global level and is striving to ensure long-term sustainability.
Why EUROPE should support the process industry? Novel technologies can provide significant environmental and social impacts but are not economically viable in the early stage High risks and long-term investments with long ROI timeframes Achievement of a critical mass with a stable R&D budget, long term view and clear objectives. Value added of an EU wide approach? Providing strong cross-sectorial clustering of different value chains to make a difference for Europe at global level, for the better Common challenges across EU process industries Synergies across sectors and across Member States and regions can provide radical improvements resource and energy efficiency
Why a SPIRE cppp is needed? To work closer with the industry to better address industry issues. A cppp can provide a structured multi-annual framework with clear objectives for the EU process industry for faster technology development and market uptake. Provides a more strategic approach to achieve the ambitious energy and resource efficiency breakthroughs, targeted. These sectors are heavily supported by public investments in other world regions (e.g. USA) due to their strategic relevance, public support is fundamental to keep these industries in Europe.
Specific objectives SPIRE Develop technologies and strengthen cross sectorial integration to improve efficiency (energy, resources) A reduction in fossil energy intensity of up to 30% by 2020 A reduction in non-renewable, primary raw material intensity of up to 20%: Increase in renewables, reduction and re-use of waste (even crosssectorial) with ambition to achieve a close loop Reduction of the water footprint of industrial processes Efficiency improvement of CO2-equivalent footprints of up to 40% Creating new high quality knowledge intensive jobs through knowledge transfer and training
Chemistry of the Future Resource Efficiency in the whole production process Input ENERGY Process Output CO2 RAW MATERIAL Solvents, Catalysts & Auxiliaries WATER PACKAGING Recycling PRODUCTS By-products Residues WASTE WATER Landfill Waste Gaseous Emissions
Chemistry of the Future Clean and continuous processes
