Give market visibility to Innovation Centres and Universities
Allow to know private/public user needs (early demand)
Allow a better strategic coordination and lobby towards european and
national R&D funds
Allow a coordination between local and national R&D&I aids, increasing
synergies
Allow to know education needs in strategic fields
www.idi.aetic.es
ETP: A few things to take into accountETP: A few things to take into account
The technology fields should be of strategic importance for Europe
– Requiring intensive research and technology progress
There is a need to create a critical mass
– public and private resources at regional, national and European level.
There is a well identified industrial and research community
– ready to collaborate in a common Strategic Research Agenda.
There is a clear commitment from the stakeholders to invest in the implementation of the SRA
– (industry, academia, Member States, the EU, financial institutions etc.).
The platforms are open
– to include new relevant players at any time

Joint Tecnnology InitiativesJoint Tecnnology Initiatives
Derive from ETPs with the purpose to implement a substantial part of the SRA
They are legal entities which are proposed as a new way of realising public-private partnerships , involving industry, the research community and public authorities at European level to pursue ambitious common research objectives.
A mechanism for performing research at EU level. Now they are PPPs.
JTIs will support large-scale multinational research activities in areas of major interest to European industrial competitiveness and issues of high societal relevance.
A JTI focuses on one specific industrial area, has a well defined objective, addresses a market failure and is funded by a combination of private and public investments.

ETP and JTI: ConclusionsETP and JTI: Conclusions
ETP and JTI can be of high value to stakeholders and to European economy and society
– build partnerships to share risk in research, concentrate resources, and compete
– speed up innovation by knowledge and experience sharing
– build consensus to turn research results into products and services
– increase research effort and Improve return on investment in RTD
But:
– should be open and avoid closed club
