Fostering Digital Industrial Innovation in Europe

The Role of Factories of the Future PPP in

Industrial Innovation

BERLIN

17th & 18th of June 2014

Manufacturing & Europe

How important is manufacturing?

� Despite the continued fall-out from crisis,

manufacturing means a lot for Europe:

� 20 % Direct jobs

� 67 % Exports

� 65 % Business R&D Expenditure

Factories of the Future

I4MS: FOSTERING DIGITAL INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION IN EUROPE

� 65 % Business R&D Expenditure

� Manufacturing in Europe remains

diverse

� Importance of manufacturing now recognised by

EU and its member states...

�....but also by Europe’s competitors

� Development of more competitive & sustainable

industry needs support = ‘Factories of the Future’


151 PROJECTS

� Public-private partnership supporting research &

innovation in production technologies

� Launched in 2009

� 1,000+ organisations from across Europe

� High involvement of SMEs: 200+ to date

� Expanding – increasing involvement from across



� Expanding – increasing involvement from across

all of Europe

� Projects launched to address multiple challenges

� Majority of projects feature demo activities

� Success:

� New methods, technology break-through, spin-offs

� Continuation of partnership under Horizon 2020

� Formal agreement between EU & EFFRA = €1.15 billion

�‘Factories of the Future 2020’ – strategic research roadmap

State of SMEsFactories of the Future

� SMEs are highly important to Europe’s economy – manufacturing is no exception

� Europe: With approx. 20 million SMEs providing 68%+ employment, their input

on our economy is substantial

� At first SMEs weathered the crisis well, however suffered more negatively as

crisis continued

“..changes in the number of SMEs have been rather volatile..”

European Commission report on SMEs (“Recovery on the Horizn?” 2013)


crisis continued

� SMEs are recovering but need support

� Manufacturing are no exception: Varying in size and in use of technology

� Therefore fertile ground for initiatives encouraging the use of new technologies,

methods, approaches etc

� SMEs are interested in activities that assist but need solutions to real problems

rather than complexity

� SMEs often unaware of potential support. There is a pressing need to inform

SMEs of opportunities available to them.

� Must consider solutions from the perspective of

SMEs

� Think of small European enterprise facing

serious competition from outside

� Cannot expect an SME to stand alone

� Need tools to be competitive:

FoF & Manufacturing SMEsFactories of the Future

� Innovative technologies

� New approaches

� State-of-the-art products

� SMEs are empowered through cooperative

research

� Must look beyond project results


FoF & Manufacturing SMEsFactories of the Future

� Increasing SME participation in FoF shows relevance of priorities &

desire of SMEs to innovate

� SMEs were very responsive the FoF consultations during the

roadmap building process

� FoF enabling SMEs to face challenges:

� Projects


� Projects

� Experienced network

� Access to knowledge

� One roadmap with clear priorities

� Consider two important questions:

� Can European SMEs be competitive in global market?

� Can a European SME be competitive against much larger

competitors?

Enabling Competitive SMEs

EFFRA believes answer to those questions is yes..

Yes by..

� embracing research, development & innovation

� having a clear strategy & being congruent with it in any tactics

� working with passion & intelligence

� being highly specialised & work with very committed

employees



employees

� being respectful of diversity

� clustering with its community (e.g. address common

challenges)

� training & education (e.g. EIT KIC on Added Value

Manufacturing)

� ICT a key factor in all of the above.

� In particular: ICT innovation in manufacturing needs to be

accessible to SMEs

Recap: FoF ICT Calls

The Role of ICT

� ICT already ubiquitous in manufacturing &

will play major role in tomorrow’s factories,

as in all sectors of economy

� R,D&I ensures both affordability of ICT

technologies & competitiveness

� Integral part of FoF research agenda (i.e.


� Integral part of FoF research agenda (i.e.

found throughout)

� Therefore SMEs must be informed of

opportunities for collaboration, new

technologies & provide their input
