In order to really grasp Smart Specialisation
you need to understand why KETs are so important
1. European Union now has an integrated KETs strategy which will
be implemented through industrial policy and other related
policy priorities
2. KETs investments in the European Union will be done by
combined financing from
ESIF - Smart Specialisation in Member States
Horizon 2020 - Value Chains in Pan-European Project
Consortia
EIB - Grants and Loans for Companies
Principles for combined funding/financing are decided,
implementation is still under debate!

Implementation of KETs Agenda through Industrial Policy
KETs Investment through Horizon 2020, Structural Funds, and EIB Grants and Loans
KETs Agenda: Re-industrialisation of Europe create jobs, enhance competitiveness of European
value chains – Europe needs to master its critical industrial value chains Independency
Commission Communication COM(2009) 512 on KETs in 2009 Potential impact of KETs in strengthening Europe’s industrial and innovation capacity (nanotechnology, micro and nano electronics,
advanced materials, photonics, industrial biotechnology and advanced manufacturing systems)
Setting up 1st High Level Group on KETs 2010-2011 (one year mandate) to elaborate a single comprehensive strategy on KETs in
Europe
Commission Communication COM(2012) 341 on KETs in 2012 KETs policy recognized and approved by all EU Member States
Setting up 2nd High Level Group on KETs 2013-2014 (two year mandate) to forge the implementation of KETs policy in Europe and to
advise the Commission
Commission Communications on Industrial Policy in 2010, 2012, 2014 Europe needs to reverse the declining role of industry in Europe for the 21st century by investment and innovation on KETs
An Integrated Industrial Policy for the Globalisation Era 2010
A Stronger European Industry for Growth and Economic Recovery 2012
A European Industrial Renaissance 2014
Commission Communication COM(2013) 542 on Defence and Security Sector KETs with dual-use potential
The new Cohesion Policy and Smart Specialisation)
KETs are one of the investment priorities of the European Regional
Development Fund (ERDF) as a relevant investment for the smart
growth of regions (Smart Specialisation). Formal Partnership
Agreements and Operational Programmes are expected to be
submitted by Members States for the adoption by the EC in 2014
KETs in Horizon 2020
Key Words: Crosscutting KETs Value Chains – TRL -
Valley of Death - Proof of Concept – Early Stage
Prototyping - Technology Validation – Demonstration
– MultiKETs Pilot Plants – Industrial Deployment in
Europe

EU’s Key Enabling Technologies (KETs)
COM(2012) 341
KETs are knowledge intensive and associated with high R&D intensity, rapid
innovation cycles, high capital expenditure and highly skilled employment
KETs enable process, goods and
service innovation throughout the
economy and are of systemic relevance
KETs are multidisciplinary, cutting across
many technology areas with a trend
towards convergence and integration
KETs can assist technology leaders in other fields to capitalise on their research efforts
EU’s KETs are micro-/nanoelectronics, nanotechnology,
photonics, advanced materials, industrial biotechnology and
advanced manufacturing technologies
Regional Policy
What is Smart Specialisation?
= a process of priority setting in national and regional innovation strategies in order to achieve place-based economic transformation by building on and developing competitive advantage through fostering
own strengths in Research and Innovation Identifying other unique characteristics and assets of a territory Matching that with the business needs
To seize emerging opportunities and market developments in a coherent manner while avoiding duplication and fragmentation of effort at EU level.
Cohesion Policy
Regional Policy
Smart Specialisation Strategies
Smart Specialisation Strategies should be developed in an entrepreneurial discovery process trough involving: national or regional managing authorities stakeholders such as business, universities and other
higher education institutions and RTOs and civil society/users.
The authorities directly involved in the implementation of Horizon 2020 should be closely associated to this process.
Cohesion Policy
Regional Policy
No "one-size-fits-all"
Policies must be tailored to the local context, acknowledging that there are different pathways for regional innovation and development. By:
• a) rejuvenating traditional sectors through higher value-added activities and new market niches (mining Silesia; shipbuilding Skåne; automotive West Midlands);
• b) modernising by adopting and disseminating new technologies (logistics Flanders);
• c) diversifying technologically from existing specialisations into related fields (Aeronautics in Toulouse to GPS technologies);
• d) developing new economic activities through radical technological change and breakthrough innovations (Tourism in Balearic Islands);
• e) exploiting new forms of innovation such as open and user-led innovation, social innovation and service innovation (Historical heritage in Italy).

R&D&I Investment in Finland (2011)
€/ inhabitants in main city regions
Source: Statistics Finland
A sparsely populated country with 5.4 million inhabitants, a
large land mass and an isolated location in Northern Europe.
So far, gross domestic expenditure on R&D&I (GERD) has
represented 3.9% of GDP. The share of business expenditure
on R&D&I (BERD) has accounted for more than 70% of all R&D
investments.

Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) addressed
by TEKES and the Academy of Finland
in multiple R&D&I programmes
There is a successive chain of TEKES programmes that have
supported industrial biotechnology and nanotechnology since
the 1990s, such as the SymBio programme with the total funding
volume of €65m in 2006-2011 and the FinNano programme with
the funding of €70m in 2005-2010
The Strategic Centres for Science, Technology and Innovation
(SHOKs), which are public-private partnerships launched in 2007-
2009, have focused on Key Enabling Technologies in the areas of
energy & environment, bioeconomy and metal products &
mechanical engineering

Cities´ Role in Smart Specialisation for Finland
In 2013, important national development programmes for cities were
under preparation: Innovative Cities (INKA programme) and Witty
City (Tekes programme)
The purpose of these programmes is to help cities to develop attractive
innovation hubs in Finland
City regions are challenged to create new types of ecosystems based
on smart specialisation, leading to knowledge-based development of
business environments and lead markets.
Moreover, cities and SMEs will find interesting new opportunities opened
up in the Horizon 2020 programme, and the European Innovation
Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities (EIP SCC) will lay basis
for integrated policy coordination between European Union and the
Member States in the coming years.

EU’s new industry policy is paving the way
towards renaissance of the European industry
Heavy investments are needed for prototyping, piloting, demonstration, industrial
deployment and production in Europe.
This is also addressed in the Conclusions of the European Council on 21st March
2014.
The European Council recalls that key enabling technologies (KETs) are of crucial
importance for industrial competitiveness.
KETs of high industrial interest, such as batteries for electro-mobility, intelligent
materials, high performance production and industrial bioprocesses, should be
strengthened by swiftly identifying projects of European interest.
Special attention should be paid to the role of cleantech as a cross-cutting element for
enhancing the competitiveness of the European industry. The Commission is invited to
report on how to promote cleantech through concrete actions in all relevant EU
policies.
See in particular paragraph 12:

Two programmes – two approaches
H2020 – Funding comes from Brussels
Apply for funding at EU-level - basis H2020 Work Programmes
Consortia include complex Pan-EU networks of competence centres
ESIF – Funding comes from your region
Apply for funding in each region and with the relevant authority
Operational plans of the regions should include a HOOK in terms of a
high keyword:
Supporting the shift towards a low carbon economy in all
sectors (this is a MUST!)
Strengthening research, technological development and
innovation (including KETs)
Enhancing access to and use and quality of ICT
Enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs
