•European Strategic Technology Plan– Joint Strategic Planning – align technology
development with energy policy goals– Effective implementation:
•European Industrial Initiatives: strategic technology alliances
•Strengthening European energy research capacities – European Energy Research Alliance
•Trans-European Energy Networks and Systems of the Future – transition planning

•Led by industry
•GOALS:– Boost research and innovation– Accelerate deployment of technology– Deliver progress beyond business-as-usual– Define & realise clear targets (quantified
objective)– Contribute to political goals (energy &
climate change)

•Share risk– High – the EC– Medium – Member states– Lowest - industry
•Pool public and private financing
•Foster public–private partnership
•Leverage additional resources
