Digital Ecosystem pilot regions




Results of the DE sector (to date):

Sectors addressed in Regional trials and in further Research, Demonstration and Support activities:

DBE pilot regions (Aragon, Tampere, West-Midlands):• 4 Drivers in the Tourism sector (with already 11 users)• 8 Implementers Phase I (3 in Tourism, 3 in e-Commerce, 1 in Issue Tracking,

4 in Security)• 12 Implementers Phase II (5 in Tourism, 4 in e-Management tools/ERP, 1

Distributed taxi float management system, 1 in Issue Tracking, 1 in Image/visual web support)

• Further regional developments planned for 2007.

+ further regions interested in DE deployment, such as, in Italy, Prov.Trento, Lazio, Piemont…




Further results of the DE sector:

Further RTD developments/applications trials from call 4 & 5 IST projects: • Application areas (STREPs):

• Construction (SEAMLESS)• Textile (SEAMLESS)• Other application areas might converge in future (e.g. other vertical STREPs)

• ICT e-business process support services (STREPs): • Negotiating (ONE)• Contracting (CONTRACT)

• Further sectors addressed in demonstrations planned in OPAALS NoE in various EU regions and further world regions (Africa, India, South America)

• Accompanying measures - in particular to support further regional deployment (PEARDROP, EFFORT)




DE FP6 results include:• individual projects research results (including OSS infra-

structure and applications geared to the needs of SMEs in various sectors)

• collaboration & uptake from regions across EU/world• joint results and strategic research roadmaps stemming

from close collaborations within clusters of projects• foundation of a new interdisciplinary science helping to

bootstrap, observe and guide the development of Digital Ecosystems supporting innovation and development within/across territories, organisational systems and cultures.

• FP7 to help further Europe’s forefront RTD • CIP to demonstrate ICT: networking actions first

(2007), to help prepare for large scale DE pilots European Commission

RationaleThemati

c Network

s

• The goal is to bring together relevant stakeholders, expertise and facilities to support the implementation of Information Society policies using ICT

• The work of the Thematic Networks should be focused on preparing future pilot activities, replication and co-deployment of innovative solutions and to develop new policy implementation schemes through working groups, workshops and exchanges of good practices.

• The network should provide guidance for ICT-enabled solutions and their roll-out and will highlight the remaining obstacles to be overcome.

• The outcomes of Thematic Networks must have clear and measurable objectives, and the results shall be in the public domain.

• Competing proposals addressing a workprogramme objective will be evaluated to the published evaluation criteria. The work programme indicates –where possible- the estimated number of proposals retained for funding for each objective according to budget availability of each theme.

Other themes and horizontal actions: Objective 4.1 Sharing experience

on ICT Initiatives for SMEs

Thematic

Networks

• Thematic Networks will ensure the wider uptake and best use of ICT in businesses, and particularly SMEs. They will help establish a platform bringing together major stakeholders to identify, share and raise awareness of best practices, with due attention to adaptation to local needs/conditions. They will address training elements, help co-ordinate the development of specific approaches and standards and provide guidance for solution and their implementation.

• Up to four Thematic Networks will be funded, two for each of the following work programme sub-objectives:

a- Improving SMEs business environment through partnership

building & development of

business ecosystemsb- Improving the

capacity of SMEs to benefit from ICT-based

innovations in their products and services

Call 2007


Objective 4.1-a: Improving SMEs business environment

through partnership building and the development of business ecosystems

RATIONALE behind the Objective 4.1-a Thematic Networks:

• Digital Ecosystem: Infrastructure enabling the composition of customised ICT solutions from generic components, to enable the economic development of SME clusters. This emerging and evolving paradigm is being adopted by industries and decision-makers in various regions in Europe, in different forms and interpretations, for deploying services for SMEs, based on the open source Digital Ecosystem infrastructure already publicly available from FP6 projects.

• For customised ICT solutions to be composed in response to SME needs, the ecosystem needs to be populated by generic digital components. Component supply is driven by both market forces and public administrations or regional demand. But wide-scale ICT adoption by SMEs necessitates addressing a number of complex issues, such as coordination with regional policies, launching concerted actions at different level of subsidiarity, attracting and involving a critical mass of SMEs using appropriate instruments.

• Thematic Networks are hence needed to define and carry out strategies for implementing Digital Ecosystem regional pilots, and are called for under objective 4.1-a.

Thematic

Networks


AIMS of the Thematic Networks under objective 4.1-a:• By addressing ICT adoption at European level, the Thematic Networks will help

to promote the sharing of experiences (and risks) on ICT adoption among European regions, to promote interoperability of ICT solutions and business processes across Europe, to fight market fragmentation for SMEs and to promote a culture of technological innovation.

• Up to two thematic networks will be supported under objective 4.1-a, for European regions wishing to prepare the deployment of digital business ecosystems to work together with the regions already experimenting such ecosystems. They will help businesses, in particular SMEs, to improve operations at local level and also to develop their capacity to work in partnerships and for various customers across Europe.

• The network should primarily target catalysts/facilitators such as regional governments, public bodies, regional agencies and non-profit bodies whose mission includes support for SMEs, local development, innovation and capacity building. The consortium should include at least two regional digital business ecosystems pilots with previous experience of local deployment.
