5 SME support: why Europe?

7 SME and innovation strategies A Swiss study estimated that less than 50% of the industrial partners used the publicly funded applied research projects strategically.(source: C. Meier platinn, CH) Only about 22% of SMEs participating in EU research programs are strategic innovators. Most scientists work together with industry to advance their research, and very hard to commercialize their knowledge. mentoring and coaching 7

8 Horizon 2020 Shared objectives and principles Societal Challenges Health, demographic change and wellbeing Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research, and the bioeconomy Secure, clean and efficient energy Smart, green and integrated transport Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials Inclusive, innovative and secure societies EIT Industrial Leadership Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies Access to risk finance Innovation in SMEs Excellent Science European Research Council (ERC) Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Marie Curie Actions Research infrastructure Common rules, toolkit of funding schemes

10 Strategic positioning Transnational cooperation logic Horizon 2020 Collaborative Research Target: R&D topics Eurostars Target: R&D intensive SME Horizon 2020 SME instrument Target: Business innovation motivated SMEs R&D driven projects National & regional programs Market opportunity driven projects Cooperation logic at regional or national level

11 SME instrument?
