  22. Analysis of Portfolio Analysis of partcipantsalong the Grid value chain • Research organisations: well represented • Technology providers: large multinationals + European SMEs (niche technologies) • Service providers: moderate number of IT + Telco Service providers • End-users: early adopter industry (auto, aero, pharma, health, construction, finance, media, etc)

  23. Policy context • Research Policy • Industrial Policy • Strengthen EU competitiveness Strengths • Technology providers: Grid MW + higher-level services • Service providers: value-added Grid services as a utility • Users: Gain competitive advantage though early use of Grid • Vision 2010 and beyond • From eScience to business & industry • Strengthen EU leadership on Grid • Build the ERA for Grid research • International collaboration Opportunities Capitalise on Europe’s strengths in Grid Research

  24. Exploiting the Economic Potential of Grid Research Innovation Competitiveness Growth Finance Automotive Aerospace Pharma e-Science Media Grid-enabled Services Grid-aware ICT Grid: a key enabling technology Information and Communication Technologies

  25. FP6-IST project launch: a milestone in reinforcing EU position in Grid Technology “Greater use of Grid tools is key for mobilising Europe’s scientific and technological capital to deliver greater competitiveness and better products” “These projects will accelerate Europe’s drive to turn its substantial Grid research investment into tangible economic benefits” Enterprise and Information Society Commissioner Olli Rehn

  26. Conclusions (1) Grid Potential • Grid as a utility: a new paradigm for service delivery • Grids: a key building block of the knowledge economy • Grids: as an enabler for innovation • Grids: a new service and business model for IT and Telco service providers

  27. Conclusions (2) IST Grid Programme • EU expects to capitalise on its strengths in Grid research and applications through strategic portfolio of new FP6 Grid Research projects launched September 2004 • ERA Pilot ‘GridCoord’ and NoE ‘CoreGrid’ are essential building blocks for a European Research Area for Grids • More coherent approaches and joint longer-term strategies supported by commitments from all key stakeholders is required to secure commercial benefits • The Grid of the future is a global challenge, thus International co-operation and standards are essential
