  2. Do you know which technologies can radically change the future of EU manufacturing?

  3. Definition of key enabling technologies (KETs) • Characteristics: • Knowledge-intensive • Associated with high R&D intensity • Rapid innovation cycles • High capital expenditure • Highly skilled workforce • KETs enable process, goods and service innovation across the economy and are of systemic relevance • KETs are multidisciplinary • KETs can assist technology leaders in other fields

  4. KETs and the economy • KETs enable producers to use labour, capital, energy and other inputs more efficiently increase productivity • Open up new markets • Scale of the effects on productivity from a KET will depend on • The speed and breadth of its diffusion across sectors and users • To what extent its use give rise to network effects • How mature it is (technological applications, innovative solutions)

  5. Key enabling technologies • Competitiveness in 6 technologies: • Nanotechnology • Micro and nanoelectronics • Industrial biotechnology • Photonics • Advanced materials • Advanced manufacturing technologies

  6. It is the applications of KETs that will create jobs, growth and wealth

  7. Uncertain market potential estimates

  8. Biotechnology: Cambridge & Bay Area Micro-electronics: Ottawa KET cluster development, ranging from emerging to post-mature KETs Micro-electronics: Grenoble Photonics: Québec Advanced materials: Changsha Nanotech: Kyoto Photonics: Berlin-Brandenburg Nanotech: Northrhine Westfalia Advanced materials: Wallonia

  9. Europe, North America and East Asia dominate KET patenting activity • European share of patents: around 1/3 in most KETs • Higher in advanced manufacturing technologies and industrial biotech • Lower in nanotechnology, micro and nanoelectronics and photonics • Most European KET patent applications made by German applicants (more than 43%), followed by French (15%) and UK applicants (11%)

  10. EU approach to KETs: a long-term research policy and supply of skills • Patents do not automatically lead to applications – KETs need to be applied in order to have impact • Each KET needs a competitive manufacturing base in Europe • Integrated, coordinated approach to KETs needed, linking actors from various policy domains at local, regional, national and international levels • Interaction between research and development, manufacture and application is needed, combined with policies promoting KET skills by means of cross-disciplinary higher education and training.
