Pilot Lines


ENIAC Call, KETs Pilot Line

The High Level Group recommends that the European Commission as well as Member States and regions stimulate the reindustrialisation of Europe by accelerating product development and manufacturing capabilities in Europe and, supporting the implementation of industrial pilot lines (including demonstrators), in all KETs and in strategic industrial sectors and value chains, with the strong commitment of industry.

Recommendation 1: Implementing pilot lines (including demonstrators)

45

46


The High Level Group recommends the Commission, Member States and regions to ensure that their funding instruments provide a workable solution allowing to cumulate different funding sources (H2020, ESIF, COSME, EIB, ESF, etc.) via combined funding mechanisms, in line with the short competitive and industrial timeframe constraints. In particular industrial pilot line projects with significant capital investment, require exploiting the possibilities offered by Articles 55, 60, 87 of the proposed Common Provisions Regulation for Cohesion Policy, in the context of the Smart Specialisation strategy.

The High Level Group recommends the Commission, Member States and regions to ensure that their funding instruments provide a workable solution allowing to cumulate different funding sources (H2020, ESIF, COSME, EIB, ESF, etc.) via combined funding mechanisms, in line with the short competitive and industrial timeframe constraints. In particular industrial pilot line projects with significant capital investment, require exploiting the possibilities offered by Articles 55, 60, 87 of the proposed Common Provisions Regulation for Cohesion Policy, in the context of the Smart Specialisation strategy.

Recommendation 3: Implementing effective solutions for combined funding mechanisms

48


The High Level Group recommends that the European Commission dedicates EC support for multi- KETs to pilot lines (including demonstrators) in the TRL range 5 to 8. The High Level Group identified test cases of multi-KETs pilot lines of high industrial interest and significant capital investment that could be carried out with support of the Commission, Membe r States and regions. The High Level Group recommends to strengthen coordination and links including joint calls between PPPs and other initiatives of the different pillars of Horizon 2020, to invest into pilot lines.

“ …while the bulk of financing will be allocated to individual technologies, a significant amount (around 30%) will be earmarked for research and innovation linked to two or more KETs”. (HLG KET Kick-Off meeting, Berlaymont, 27th February 2013)

Recommendation 2: Implementing multi-KETs activities

49

The High Level Group, in the context of the ongoing modernization process for State Aids, recommends that for KETs-related projects the European Commission accelerates the notification procedure, proactively facilitates that relevant KETs-related projects qualify as Project of Common European Interest, and renders the matching clause under R&D&I Framework operational. The High Level Group recommends that bilateral and multilateral trade negotiations should be used by the EU and Member States to address the transparency of third countries’ State Aids.

Vice-President Joaquín Almunia, Commissioner for Competition

The Treaty on the Functionning of the European Union

Recommendation 4: Ensuring a global level playing field for KETs R&D&I and investment activities

Pilot Lines


Considering the vital role of SMEs and small & mid-cap companies in job creation and innovation in the European Union, and their difficulties to install or have access to pilot line or early stage prototyping facilities, due to limited resources, business size and financial capacities, the High Level Group recommends the European Commission to proactively support specific actions to promote and enable pan European access to a set of KET technology platforms to accelerate the entry to the market of early stage KET based prototypes enabled by SMEs in alignment with European supply chain.

Manufacturing SMEs


Pilots Lines

The High Level Group recommends that the European Commission puts in place the appropriate political, financial and regulatory environment which will allow the European Union to both attract and maintain globally competitive manufacturing activities in Europe. The EIB should continue to exploit the possibilities of the Memorandum of Understanding signed with the European Commission, as well as of the increased funding volume for KETs related projects, resulting from the EIB capital increase of €10 billion.

Recommendation 6: Anchoring globally competitive manufacturing in Europe

Manufacturing


The High Level Group recommends that the European Commission, Member States and regions, address the current KET skills deficit in a comprehensive and integrated manner across all technical levels and in the different KETs domains. A Europe wide education and training plan should be put in place. The weak support of individual excellence in KET related technological research should be addressed by increasing up to 15% the share of ERC budget dedicated on this thematic. A KIC on Advanced KETs-enabled Manufacturing should be launched in 2014. The European Social Fund should be mobilized to improve KETs employment and job opportunities in European regions, in particular amongst Europe’s young talent pool. Finally, it should ensure a pool of skilled technologists on strategic multi-KETs fields through its Future and Emerging Technologies Programme (FET).

The High Level Group recommends that the European Commission develops and includes provisions in grant agreements for European innovation projects closer to the market, requiring an exploitation plan demonstrating a clear return on investment for the European economy. In the case of technological transfer, first exploitation (under reasonable circumstances) of IP arising from European public funded R&D&I should be made in Europe. The High Level Group also recommends the European Commission to ensure that technology transfer of European Commission public funded Intellectual assets receives specific attention in bilateral trade agreements in a spirit of reciprocity.

Recommendation 8: Protect and exploit European funded intellectual assets

55

Policies on European Societal Challenges, in particular, in pillar 3 of Horizon2020, should address the development and use of European KETs bulding blocks as an integral part of the product solutions. The High Level Group recommends the Commission to ensure strong engagement of KETs industries/value chains in implementation and in relevant advisory groups dealing with societal challenges programmes. Benefit-risk approaches based on dedicated applications/uses of technologies must be integral element in the Societal Challenges programme to bridge the public request for innovative and at the same time safe processes and products.

Recommendation 9: Leverage societal challenges to stimulate European KETs market and supply

56


The High Level Group recommends that the European Commission makes full use of Smart Specialisation to promote KETs in EU Member States and regions and to monitor the uptake of KETs in connection with their research and innovation strategies. In this context, the European Commission is invited to prepare an annual report mapping the regional and national development and deployment of KETs, including across the full TRL scale. The Member States and Regions are asked to provide relevant data to facilitate this task. The High Level Group also recommends Managing Authorities in charge of operational programmes to fully exploit the opportunities offered by KETs in the policy mixes implemented to attain the objectives set out in their Smart Specialisation strategies, including via an entrepreneurial discovery process involving also industrial ecosystems.
