Horizon 2020 R&I in the EU: 2014-2020 � Excellent Science (31.7%) ERC, Marie Curie actions, FETs, Research infrastructures � Industrial Leadership (22.1 %) Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies Photonics (ICT, Nanotechnology materials, Biotechnology, Production Technologies, …) , Access to risk finance, Innovation in SMEs 77 B€ � Societal challenges (38.5%) Health & Ageing, Energy, Transport, Resource Efficiency, Climate Challenge, ... Implement Photonics in Horizon 2020 through a PPP ■ The proposed Horizon 2020 legal text foresees a potential PPP for Photonics ■ ~1.6 B€ foreseen for both photonics and micro- and nano-electronics
Photonics PPP in Horizon 2020 WHY? Rationale ■ Global market: In 2012, 350 B€; In 2020, 600 B€ -- Europe's share in 2012: 66 B€ (~18%) ■ Major growth in lighting, biophotonics, laser-based manufacturing, optical communications ■ Contribution to Societal challenges: health, energy & climate change, security, etc. ■ In Europe: 5000+ companies (mostly SMEs), more than 300 000 employees ■ A well-structured sector: Photonics21 ETP has > 2000 Members many national activities (national platforms + funding); 40+ Photonics innovation clusters ■ An R&D-intensive activity, requiring a long term horizon ■ Need for a critical mass of stakeholders and leadership at EU level No individual country has the required multi-disciplinary capability and can act at such level and scale of excellence
Photonics PPP A Strategy for R&I in Horizon 2020 ■ An ambitious Strategic R&I Roadmap for the next 7 years together with a value chain approach, incl. end-users ■ A well-coordinated approach: Photonics21 - National Technology Platforms – Regional IMPACT? Innovation Clusters ■ Knowledge creation ■ Support to innovative SMEs ■ Competitiveness – Clusters and SMEs ■ Growth & Jobs – An EU-wide SoA Service infrastructure for SMEs ■ Links to National Funding Programmes and to Regional Smart Specialisation Strategies ■ Access to risk finance (equity + debt) PPP is at the core of an industrial strategy for Europe
Photonics PPP The Contractual Agreement ■ Basic principle of the PPP – Open to All, Representative of the Stakeholders, transparent in decision making – Private sector partners advise the Commission on R&I priorities of the Horizon 2020 work programmes – Implementation via 'normal' programme for R&I using H2020 Rules for Participation and with comitology ■ Contractual agreement (MoU) to include: – Vision and Strategic Objectives – Multi-annual Strategic R&I roadmap – Commitments – Impacts – Governance – Key performance indicators, monitoring of PPP performance – Means for termination
Methodology for R&I Priority Setting Proposals for R&I priorities from WG Members • Description of the topic, objective, (TRL) • Relevant Research & Innovation present in Europe KETs HLG • Impact on European economy, employment • Impact on societal challenges • EU added value • EU Funding (justification) Consolidation of proposals from the WGs Interactions with EC (clarifications / amendments) WG Chairs for further prioritisation Prioritisation in the Board of Stakeholders Priority List to the EC WP texts in H2020
Photonics PPP Strategic Research Agenda Collaborative Large scale Networking demo actions Projects Instruments, Pilot manufacturing PCPs, PPIs ERANETs Prizes lines ■ R&D actions: – Roadmap-based research with a value chain approach – Recognised value of potentially disruptive innovations ■ Innovation actions: – TRLs 5-8: Pilot manufacturing lines; Large scale demonstrations; precommercial procurement and procurement of R&I – Innovative SMEs : open schemes; access to technology, manufacturing capabilities and support services ■ Coordination & Networking actions: – Coordinated R&I Activities with national / regional programmes, actions for networking stakeholders and clusters, and for attracting / educating people

Software defined optics in backbone networks Software defined optics in backbone networks � As network operator � What are your customer requirements? � What are your requirements as network operator? � When do you foresee your next network upgrade in the backbone network? � Which technology are you looking for? � WDM – software-defined optics (dynamic, flexible bitrate, etc) � What is the product roadmap and does it fit your network roadmap? � Has it the desired level of maturity, flexibility, etc.? What would you expect or desire in addition? � In how many phases do you foresee to upgrade the network? � Do you want to take some risk as early adopter of new technology?
Objectives Objectives PPI cofund actions PPI cofund actions Focus on commercialisation / deployment phase � Help transnational procurer groups to reduce fragmentation of demand and reduce risk/cost of early adoption of innovative solutions � Result in early deployment/first application of innovative ICTs. Commitment to deploy if market able to deliver innovative solutions within pre-set time with pre-set quality/price requirements � Buyers group uses tactique of early announcement of the intention to deploy innovative solutions, to encourage the market to make changes in production process to meet better than available quality / price requirements for mass market deployment Not pre-commercial R&D phase � Can include Innovative solutions already technically demonstrated (small scale) but owing to residual risk (price/quality not suitable yet for mass market deployment) not widely deployed yet � Does not include procurement of R&D. Either no R&D needed or R&D already progressed up to products nearly/already on market in small quantity, but not scaled up yet to meet mass market requirements.
