  3. FP7 proposal – General comments • Europe’s key challenge is not only acquiring more knowledge, but also turning knowledge into more economic value • Make European Innovation Paradox overarching issue of FP7 • Open Innovation requires cooperation, not segregation • Academia large firms  SMEs • Industry is key actor in innovation • Declining participation in successive FPs must be reversed

  4. FP7 proposal – Specific Programme “Cooperation” • Maintain cooperation as core of FP7 • Continue & improve FP6 instruments for collaborative R&D • Ample room for smaller projects • Current Networks of Excellence not attractive to industry

  5. European Technology Platforms (ETPs) • Promising concept • Industry-driven Strategic Research Agenda as input for Workprogramme • Philips is actively engaged in many ETPs • Nanoelectronics* (ENIAC) • Embedded Systems* (ARTEMIS) • Mobile & Wireless Communications (eMobility) • Nanomedicine • Networked & Electronic Media (NEM) • Robotics (EUROP) • Photonics (EPIC) • Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC; SEE) • (Potential) interest in Innovative Medicines*, Software & Services (NESSI) *: Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) envisaged by EC

  6. Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs) • Public-Private Partnerships for executing (part of) SRA • Match private resources with adequate public funding (EC + national) • Implement Art. 171 without excessive red tape • Philips is actively involved in shaping two JTIs • Nanoelectronics (ENIAC) and embedded systems (ARTEMIS) • With close involvement of EUREKA clusters MEDEA+ and ITEA

  7. FP7 proposal – Other Specific Programmes • “Ideas” • Supporting frontier research through ERC is excellent idea • Fund ERC in addition to existing FP activities • “People” • Public-private mobility of researchers is key for Open Innovation • Take over key characteristics from FP5 Industry Host Fellowships • “Capacities” • Support Open Innovation Centres

  8. FP7 proposal - Simplification • Rigorous overhaul of FP implementation system is needed • Transaction costs (public + private) are economically out of proportion • Introduce notion of “Responsible Partnering” to restore trust • Between public and private partners within consortium • Between consortium and Commission • Between Commission and other EU Institutions • Take advantage of 2005 revision of Financial Regulation

  9. Concluding remarks • Commission’s proposal for FP7 is sound • By and large, Philips agrees with Working Document on FP7 • ITRE, June 23, 2005; rapporteur: Jerzy Buzek • Philips calls upon European Parliament and Council to invest more in Europe’s future and double annual FP budget • For comparison • EU agricultural support for tobacco (CAP): ~0.9 billion €/yr • EU research support for ICT (FP6-IST): ~0.9 billion €/yr • EU research support for Life Sciences & Health (FP6-LSH): ~0.6 billion €/yr
