3. Origin and rationale (1/2) • We know that • The digitalisation of the exchanges is a major improvement opportunity for the competitiveness of industry and services • The SMEs are the backbone of our economy, • But • SME are lagging behind in the adoption of e-business and ICT • When compared with United States and, within the EU, with nordic members states, France stands on the wrong side of the digital divide • We have learned from • previous programs (UCIP…) • several industrial sectors (car building, aircraft industry…) who had launched successful initiatives and were showing the way (and pitfalls…)

4. Origin and rationale (2/2) • Program assumptions : • It is far more efficient to support sector specific projects • But the different sectors are not independent (see next slide) • Involvment of professional organisations and/or prime contractors is a key of success • Bad steering and management of the project is a major cause of failure • It is not only a problem of bringing hardware, software and network, but a matter of changing organisations and the way of doing business • Deployment and implementation should be done at a local / regional scale

5. Professions (mainly SME) Sectors (customers, primes, tier 1 to tier n suppliers) Sectors belonging to the same ecosystem, sharing the needs and the same suppliers Railway Architecture & Construction Atom industry Petrol, chemistry IT c& Telco Retail Furnitures, Shoes, Toys,Textile Agriculture Sea ressources Wood – Forests Aeospace/ Defense Automotive Shibuilding Tourism Mecanic Electronic Plasturgy Textile Logistics/transportation Services : customs, … Interdependance of Industry & Services sectors

6. Program objectives • We want our SMEs to climb up the « eMaturity ladder » towards digital business ecosystems • The program is • supporting projects led by professional organisations and/or prime contractors for a given sector of activity • funding assistance for project owners (project management, specifications, call for tender, acceptance test, communication…) • providing coordination and cross information between the sectors • Implementation and deployment will be led at local and regional scale

12. Res-Agri : An ICT project for agriculture • Farmers have to spend a lot of time to send and receive informations (food tracability, environmental conservation, orders, invoices…) • Res-Agri is a 2 year project to • identify the necessary data-flows and existing messages • develop new messages in concordance with the UN/CEFACT (TBG18) • implement and test a platform, starting with the most important messages • Objective is to divide by 4 the time and cost of information exchange for the farmers
