  3. Some issues for FP7: The benefits of high-tech sectors Closer industry involvement Selection of priority themes In an environment of limited budgets, reduced European economic growth and competitiveness, FP7 should aim to the promotion of technological innovation

  4. High-tech industrial sectors provide benefits for other sectors not directly related (spill-over effects) Microelectronics, aerospace and security/defence sectors (about 2% of world GDP) have positive influence on about half of world GDP Products and technologies in Aerospace and Defence must continuously evolve to guarantee security in a rapidly evolving scenario High-tech sectors Source: L’innovazione tecnologica come motore di crescita Ambrosetti, Roma, 2004

  5. To increase innovation capabilities, a closer involvement of Industry in FP7 is recommended High-tech sectors imply large companies with the critical mass needed to embark into bold innovation initiatives Innovative SMEs are a fundamental component in carrying out RTD projects led by larger companies, as well as research institutions Industry involvement

  6. The establishment of European Technology Platforms has been important in setting meaningful research goals, reducing fragmentation and possibly reducing the time required for the development of innovation Next step will be to define FP7 work programmes closely related to international market needs of relevant industrial sectors JTIs are new important instruments, even though their implementation might not be easy Instruments

  7. Recommendations • Finmeccanica supports the Commission proposal for FP7 • Air Transport System: a fundamental research area comprising new green aircraft technologies and the future Air Traffic Management system • Space: Earth Observation technologies and solutions for Environment and Security (GMES) • Security: a cross cutting priority theme with a strong impact on transportation, critical infrastructures, border surveillance • ICT: technologies and solutions as wideband telecommunications
