AIRPORT SEAPORT BRAINPORT 2020 2 - Brainport 2020

Summary Brainport 2020 Brainport 2020: Top Economy, Smart Society In 2020 the Southeast Netherlands will be among the top three European top technology regions and in the top ten on a global scale. The economic growth in the Southeast Netherlands of around 3% is double the country s average. The industry base in the Southeast Netherlands is taking advantage of opportunities for growth, with its annual share of gross national product rising by 40 to 136 billion euros. Three field labs of world renown function as an incubator of innovative solutions for home care, mobility and sustainable buildings. The Southeast Netherlands will be heading for near full employment. Every talent will be used because the job market needs them all, from skilled workers to highly educated knowledge workers. These are some of the ambitions expressed in 2020, Top Economy, Smart Society. Brainport 2020 is a Cabinet assignment comprising a vision and strategy along with a tangible implementation programme. The assignment reads: Develop, parallel with the airport and seaport visions, a cohesive and comprehensive vision of Brainport. At the level of the Southeast Netherlands with Brainport its pivot and with a focus on cross-border links to Flanders and Nordrhein-Westfalen. The Cabinet wants to make the Dutch economy one of the world s top five economies and has therefore opted to focus on top sectors. Especially High Tech Systems & Materials, Chemical Engineering & Chemistry and Agrofood are substantial contributors to the Dutch economy. These three sectors account for 68% of all private spending on research and development, and together make up almost half of all Dutch exports, the engine of the economic growth. World players, multinationals and small and medium sized enterprises with strong export positions in these sectors are located in Southeast Netherlands. It is only if the knowledge economy of the Southeast Netherlands gets the opportunity to grow that a top 5 spot can be achieved for the country. Top economy, smart society - 3

Compared with top regions around the world with a similar business and technology profile, a European top three spot and a world top ten ranking are feasible for the Southeast Netherlands. But to achieve this, specific actions and investments are necessary. And these are outlined in Brainport 2020. World players in top sectors The strength of the region lies in two top sectors that are already in the Champions League: High Tech Systems & Materials and Chemical Engineering & Chemistry, including the strong Lifetec cluster at the interface of these top sectors and Life Sciences. The presence of powerful major companies like ASML, Océ, DSM, Fuji, NXP, Philips, VDL, Vion and Nunhems is unique as is the related extensive network of high-tech SMEs [SMEs stands for small and medium sized enterprises], suppliers and an internationally renowned Design cluster. These companies not only compete but cooperate on new innovations at the edge of what is technically feasible. Such open innovation partnership makes them strong. The companies are surrounded by world-class universities, hospitals and research institutes they can call on, and a well educated workforce. This makes the Southeast Netherlands a place where companies and knowledge workers from the Netherlands and abroad want to locate, especially since they arrive in a green and welcoming environment where life is both sociable and enjoyable. Cornerstone of the Dutch economy The Southeast Netherlands contributes signifincantly to the rest of the Netherlands, with 35% of all Dutch exports coming from this region. Together with the mainports of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, the Southeast Netherlands is the bulwark of the Dutch economy. The very strong performance of the Southeast Netherlands can be attributed to the investments made by companies in research and development (R&D) into new products, services and technologies. Nearly half of all R&D investments within our national borders is spent here. And more than half of all patents come from the Southeast Netherlands, part of the cross-border top technology region of Eindhoven-Leuven-Aachen (TTR ELAt). This is a region of approx. 9.3 million residents, an economy larger than that of Finland with more R&D investment than Singapore. It makes the Southeast Netherlands one of Europe s strongest innovation regions. Societal challenges The Southeast Netherlands has a highly promising base, but the world is changing rapidly. The major societal themes of our era have also considerable impact on the competitiveness of the region: scarcity of raw materials, ageing population, climate change, growing need for energy and food, congested roads and strong international competition. The European Union wants to tackle these problems and opportunities at a European level through an all-embracing programme: Europe 2020. Europe 2020 is a strategy that uses economic actors to tackle the societal issues. The approach of Brainport 2020 and the European Union correspond to a great extent, and the Cabinet s policy fits in perfectly with this. 4 - Brainport 2020

The ten main features of this unique ecosystem are: 1 World-class companies: Knowledge-intensive international companies in the Southeast Netherlands active in one of the top sectors (High Tech Systems & Materials, Chemical Engineering & Chemistry and Agrofood) spend 3.3 billion euros each year on research and development (R&D) and export products and services worth 80 billion euro). Among the leading world players that have a unique market position are ASML, Canon (Océ), DAF, DSM, FEI, NXP, Philips and VION, plus many more smaller but equally excellent companies like Fuji, Annatech, Vanderlande Industries, Kverneland, Pamgene and CFS. The internationally competitive creative industry also plays a key role.

Moreover, participation of small and medium-sized enterprises in national innovation schemes, innovation vouchers, innovation performance contracts and innovation programmes is above average: 44% of these specific national funds ends up in the Southeast Netherlands 8). 3 Strong supply chains: The Southeast Netherlands has powerfully embedded chains of suppliers of services (like R&D) and semi-finished products in manufacturing. Research and development, design, production and sales all occur within close proximity of each other, with 70% of the first-line suppliers of several major OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) located within 40 km of Eindhoven. The same applies to second and third-line ancillary suppliers 9). 4 A well educated labour force: A qualitatively effective range of education and a knowledge infrastructure with close ties to industry. Three strong universities with different but complementary profiles in Tilburg, Eindhoven and Maastricht: alpha, bèta and gamma; a university medical centre and the open university. Good broad higher educational establishments, Fontys Hogescholen, Hogeschool Zuyd, the world-leading Design Academy in the field of industrial design and the renowned Hogeschool HAS Den Bosch in the field of Agrofood. At all educational levels (from secondary to university) educational establishments work together with industry. However, in a quantitative sense, compared with the national average, the public knowledge infrastructure is not up to par. 5 Open innovation: Companies cooperate together and with internationally active knowledge institutes like universities, university medical centres and hospitals, TNO and the Dutch Polymer Institute cooperate by sharing and multiplying knowledge in an open environment before they bring their products to market. Open innovation is almost always multidisciplinary; bèta programmes work with market researchers, sociologists and psychologists. Meeting facilities and accessible research facilities are key criteria. Innovation programmes like Point One (focused on high-tech systems), HTAS (specifically geared to automotive) CTMM (Centre for Translational Molecular Medicine) and BMM (Biomedical Materials) also play an important role. 6 Innovation campuses with international allure: High Tech Campus Eindhoven and Chemelot Campus in Sittard-Geleen. These innovation campuses are built on the strong foundation of the top players in High Tech Systems & Materials and Chemical Engineering & Chemistry, Philips and DSM. The campuses have unique research facilities and form hotspots for innovation. The profile and power of the campuses have been reinforced by the location of tens of companies that fit into the ecosystem. 7 Strategic location in Northwest Europe: The Southeast Netherlands is well positioned between the metropolitan areas of the Dutch Randstad, the German Ruhr and Flemish urban diamond with 55 million consumers within a range of 200 kilometres and three intercontinental airports just 100 km away. 8 Powerful European player: The economy of the Southeast Netherlands acts on a European level in various partnerships and in the top technology region of Eindhoven-Leuven-Aachen. An example is Holst Centre, a partnership between Imec Leuven and TNO. Two co-locations of Knowledge Innovation Communities (KICs) of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology are also accommodated in the Southeast Netherlands: the KIC InnoEnergy and the KIC ICT. Furthermore, Chemelot Campus, RWTH and RWTH Aachen Campus are exploring the possibility of forming a consortium in Europe to make use of the complementarity and to boost efficiency. 9 Triple helix cooperation: The Eindhoven region has a unique tradition of partnership between industry, knowledge institutions and government that drives the region forward. Created in the crisis period of the 1990s and now embedded in the Brainport Foundation. 10 Pleasant place to live: The Southeast Netherlands offers a pleasant place to live with a combination of urban and rural living in a green, sustainable environment with an open, hospitable mentality, good sports facilities and cultural amenities.

It is generally known that solutions are found in the Southeast Netherlands for problems that occur all over the world. Smart remote care, solar energy, electric cars and led lighting are just a few examples. The Southeast Netherlands and the Netherlands itself earn their bread with these solutions and society benefits from them. The strategy of the region is to supplement efforts in existing top clusters with the further development of several new clusters as smart mobility, smart materials, homecare, industrial design, solar energy, energy in the built environment, and agrofood. In this respect connections are crucial: between High Tech Systems & Materials and Chemistry as well as biology and psychology, between technology and design, entrepreneurship and behavioural sciences, hightech systems and the agrofood cluster in Greenport Venlo, between the Southeast Netherlands and top regions in emerging countries. 8 - Brainport 2020

Top to base To strengthen the Southeast Netherlands and keep the region internationally competitive, the region must be made as attractive as possible for companies, residents and visitors. Some accommodation conditions are geared to the very top international players, such as the excellent innovation campuses of international repute: the High Tech Campus Eindhoven and the Chemelot Campus in Sittard-Geleen. To push that top even higher requires an even broader base and more solid foundation. In terms of a broader base this may involve generating more business from knowledge institutions and larger companies coupled with accessible funding for entrepreneurs aiming for growth. Examples of where the basis can be strengthened include the sufficient growth of young people following education in engineering disciplines and vocations as well as an attractive living climate. All players and layers of administration have a role to play in this: companies and educational and knowledge institutions, local and provincial authorities, national government and The European Union. Complete programme As already mentioned, the Southeast Netherlands has a strong position. If the clusters in the Southeast Netherlands want to remain internationally competitive, then the location climate must be improved. For the future of the Netherlands in the lead up to 2020 crucial measures, both immediate and further in the future, have to be taken in five domains. And in tackling these improvements, there must be tangible yardsticks. So what goals have to be achieved within which time span? People (job market). High quality education that fits in with what companies need is necessary at every level, with an emphasis on engineering and entrepreneurship. The Southeast Netherlands is especially keen on attracting engineering and entrepreneurial talent, both domestic and foreign. Interesting opportunities exist also for men and women with professional expertise. Knowledge workers and skilled workers are needed because without them thousands of vacancies will be unfilled. The flexible job market of 2020 will provide work for young and old, men and women, and every kind of job-seeker. Technology (research and development / design). It is necessary to safeguard open innovation, one of the main strengths of the Southeast Netherlands. Open innovation contributes to solutions for societal challenges and products as well as services with high added value. A stronger public R&D infrastructure is vital to product development, export and the conditions in which companies can locate and business can take place. The current low government spending on research and development creates a vulnerable situation. If companies close or relocate their R&D departments, gaps will appear in the system and damage the top clusters. A strong and accessible public knowledge infrastructure has the power to bind, encourage and attract private R&D end ensure that the leading knowledge and technology position of TTR ELAt is better used both inwardly (innovation) and outwardly (international image). Business (climate for commercial activities) The Southeast Netherlands needs more market-focused start-up companies and rapid innovative growers. This requires additional capital for promising companies in every phase of development. The public sector must take the lead by purchasing innovative products as a customer. The strong chains of small and medium sized enterprises must act in unison in order to bring together different disciplines, to develop new products and service with high added value, and to explore new foreign markets. Top economy, smart society - 9

Basics (quality of the environment and infrastructure). High-tech connections to customer regions, suppliers and international branches are a precondition for a top region like the Southeast Netherlands. Moreover, researchers must be able to travel quickly between the European knowledge hubs. The region does not perform as well in this respect as other top regions throughout the world. The location of related companies and knowledge institutions close to each other will enable them to benefit optimally from the knowledge and expertise of others. A recognisable image gives the Southeast Netherlands a powerful regional identity and greater international charisma. It must also be a nice place to live and work, with plenty of natural landscape, attractive cities, good education and varied cultural life as well as an image that generates enthusiasm far beyond its borders. Brainport must beat in the hearts of everyone. Governance (administration and organisation). Cooperation is contained in the genes of Southeast Netherlands and has been a key criterion for success. Lively interaction among industry, knowledge institutions and government at all levels - is a major cornerstone of the success. So it is essential to build on and extend the strength of this 'triple helix' to make the Southeast Netherlands an innovation region of world class by 2020. Not as a heavy structure but a light network configuration. In this regard the deployment of existing strong executors is indispensable. Structural cooperation between the state and the region is key given the national interest in realising Brainport 2020. The current muscle in the Netherlands does not match up to that of emerging economies. And finally international cooperation. Many companies have branches all around the world and produce for the global market. As such they set world standards. A high-tech international network is vital to both these companies and to the Southeast Netherlands. Therefore, the region must continue along this path with extra impetus. Governments are also crossing over the border, both internationally and in the crossborder region of TTR ELAt. By seeking connection with developments occurring in Flanders, Wallonia and Nordrhein-Westfalen, the potential of TTR ELAt can be utilised to a better and smarter effect. INVESTING WITH A HIGH RETURN The execution of the plans and proposals contained in the Brainport 2020, Top Economy and Smart Society programme will cost money an additional annual investment of two billion euros, half of which will have to come from the knowledge institutions and industry and the rest from local and provincial authorities and the state. The return will be a multiplication of this investment as the region is able to add 40 billion euros extra per year to the Dutch economy in 2020. Brainport 2020 also helps to flatten the effect of fluctuations of the economic cycle. By focusing strongly in the Southeast Netherlands on clusters like food & technology and homecare, the impact of economic fluctuations, to which high-tech systems and chemistry have traditionally been susceptible, is inhibited to some extent. However, Brainport 2020 does not just add to the earning capacity of the Netherlands and to a stronger economic basis. The programme also pays off in broad societal terms, contributing substantially to the goal of full employment. More jobs will have to be filled than the expected influx of employees from the education system can provide. So the call that goes out to everyone who is able to work is a loud one: everyone is needed! 10 - Brainport 2020

The implementation programme: tangible actions with support The Brainport 2020 implementation programme contains some seventy actions that are geared to raising the top, extending the base and consolidating the foundations. The comprehensive character of this implementation programme covers the four domains: People, Technology, Business and Basics. These actions are the result from discussions with hundreds of representatives in the region and at national as well as European level: from companies, large and small, from knowledge institutions, financial institutions, non-governmental organisations and local and central government. The following themes come to the fore as priorities: talent and professional expertise, knowledge, entrepreneurship, clusters, infrastructure connections, innovation campuses, public R&D, branding and cooperation. Indicators compare the current situation with the intended result in 2015 and 2020 for each line of action. The table below lists these indicators by domain. The indicators and targeted values are derived from the Lisbon targets, the European Innovation Scoreboard and the Global Competitiveness Index among others.
