Driving Innovation A brief history The original DTI Innovation Unit and advisory Technology Strategy Board was set up in 2004 It was spun out of government as a non-departmental public body in July 2007, relocated to Swindon and staffed with people from business Since then our budget has increased from 250m to 440m a year Independent evaluation suggests that we have increased the return on that investment from 4 to over 20 for every 1 used by focussing on challenges and building the community We are now the UKs Innovation Agency

Slide 3

Driving Innovation What is the problem we are addressing? Business investment is too low and too late Technical and financial risks need to be mitigated The time for financial return is too long for many players Innovation disrupts value chains and business models New partnerships are required to build new supply chains Investment and innovation is required at multiple points Longer term trends not visible to all players Impact and opportunities from emerging technologies & policies Innovation infrastructure complex and inefficient Fragmented and difficult to navigate Government does not make best use of its levers Procurement, regulation, standardisation, fiscal incentives

Slide 4

Driving Innovation What are our Criteria? Market What is the current and projected size, how fast is it growing, who are the competition? Capability Does the UK have a strong research base in the area, the skills, the business capacity? Timing Is the cost curve balanced by the value curve? Additionality Why should the taxpayer support this project?

Driving Innovation Today's transport will be tomorrows challenge, The scale of demand for global transport is astonishing, its essential in every aspect of our daily lives, supporting the UK economy through the movement of people and goods, getting people to work and food to the supermarkets. With a world population now standing at seven billion people, the expansive global network of 30 million miles of roads carries a staggering 80 billion kilometres of passenger travel and nearly 30 billion tonne kilometres of freight every day. Meanwhile a massive merchant fleet of 50,000 vessels delivers 570 million containers to ports around the world. Lets Take a close look at Transport?

Driving Innovation Sizing the market for transport - evidence In the UK, we travel some 670 billion kilometres each year by car, bus, and rail, spending around 190 billion on cars, commercial vehicles, roads, fuel and related motoring expenditure, railway and bus tickets and infrastructure subsidies. Households spend around half of this, with fuel making up the lions share (26 billion per year) followed by vehicle purchases (19 billion per year) with repairs and servicing making up another 7 billion per year. Globally is 11.5tr Quarter of a trillion tonne kilometres of freight is moved around within the country every year. While 70% of this travels by road, a surprising 19% travels by water with the remaining 10% travelling by rail. While valuing this is difficult, CEBR estimate that road freight costs companies around 42 billion per annum compared to only around 1 billion for rail freight. Total trade in physical goods has risen from 3.4 trillion to 11.4 trillion between 1997 and 2012. World trade encompasses 25% of total world GDP compared to 18% in 1997 which illustrates the increased openness of the global economy.

Slide 11

Driving Innovation Is capacity the problem? A reported statistic from the CBI values congestion at around 20 billion per annum = lost revenue to the UKs GDP, and to businesses Although people are frustrated with the frequent delays, we still persist in thinking inside the box, using and installing fragmented and local solutions and with the limited infrastructure to throw more vehicles at the problem, rather than thinking more intelligently, and using the intelligence within the system, to optimise assets and inform our actions, or needs. Acting in isolation is congesting our environment and our ability to function. How we move people and goods more intelligently relies heavily on interaction and interchange of a number of components, transactions, interdependencies and connectivity; it is inefficiencies between these that create wastage in the overall system, which, in its own right leads to additional overheads to manage those interactions. Equally, this wastage between interactions results in lost time, poor flow and inefficiency in the overall transport system, thus hindering our ability to move people and goods more efficiently.

Slide 12

Driving Innovation Time to think out of the box and transform.............!

Slide 13

Driving Innovation Transport systems integration Systems integration which in engineering terms is the process of bringing together the components and subsystems of transport into one, or a more connected local system to ensure they function more systematically together, therefore, the act of gluing different transport systems physically, virtually or functionally so to act as a coordinated whole, or part, provides opportunity in overcoming wastage, using innovation to drive change.

Slide 14

Driving Innovation Market opportunities est 900bn The vision for the future is that users will demand more from innovation and technology as capacity saturation grids to a holt, the user becomes the customer, setting specification and requirement for innovation that's is likely to be centred around configuring cross mode and node products and services that are, flexible, informative, decisive, and above all reactive to the pace of innovation. To do this he UK needs to engineer future skeleton and reactive architectures, integrate systems to address the issues of wastage across borders. To bring into existence the ability to interpret between components, data and information, thus seeking to create an industry which will make work complex interfaces by translating language between technical, commercial products, services. Driving collaboration across sectors and attracting new and emerging industries into the transport arena.
