  1. Government help or hindrance Innovation in Horizon 2020 Global UniversityVenturingSummit(16/10/2013) Viorel Peca (viorel.peca@ec.europa.eu) DG CONNECT /Innovation Research and Innovation

  2. Why be interested in H2020 Participation by type of organisations in FP7 -ICT: Funding by category of organisations, M€ and %, cumulated fig. Legend: -High Education Institutions &Research Centres (HES/REC) -Large Companies (LARGE) -Other organisations NIL BUT: Past performance is not guarantee for future success!

  3. Excellent Science Industrial leadership What is Horizon 2020? A 77 B€ European Research & Innovation funding programme Expanded Continuity, Openness, Smart Experimentation Societal challenges

  4. Innovation dimensions of Horizon 2020 • Innovation Actions* • SME instrument • FastTrack to Innovation • Support to innovation procurement* • Inducementprizes** • CSAsto preparemarketuptake • Support to EIP agendas* • Social innovation*, service innovation* • Financial instruments: loan finance, guarantees, equity * Guidance note provided ** On-goingstudy

  5. 'Innovation Actions' (fundedat 70%)are definned in the Horizon 2020 Rules for Participation: • 'Innovation action' means an action primarily consisting of activities directly aiming at producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services. For this purpose they may include prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, large-scale product validation and market replication

  6. Basic and appliedresearch Technologydevelopment and integration Establishingtechnicalfeasibilityin lab or simulatedenvironment Establishingtechnical and economicviabilityin (near to) operationalenvironment Supporting first application in the market to confirm user benefits (only in specificmarketcontexts) Decision by producers/users to commercialise/buy – if no marketfailures/barriers to uptake Wide marketdeploymentstarts Decision by producers to validate in (near to) operationalenvironment Research and Innovation ActionsR&D activities, oftencombinedwithcloselyconnected but limited innovation activities Innovation Actions Demonstration/pilot projectsmayincludelimited R&D activities First marketreplicationprojectsonly in specificmarketcontexts

  7. SME instrument ? Procurement Demonstration Market Replication Research Development Concept & Feasibility Assessment Commercialisation SME window EU financial facilities IDEA business coaching throughout the project MARKET • Funded by LEITs and SC. Initially 5%, will rise to at least 7% averaged over H2020. Approximate 3 B€ over 7 years.

  8. Phase 3 & coaching = 2% budget SME instrument Phase 1: Concept and feasibility assessment Phase 2: R&D, demonstration, market replication Phase 3: Commercialisation No direct funding Input: Idea/Concept: "Business Plan 1" (~ 10 pages) 10% budget Activities: Feasibility of concept Risk assessment IP regime Partner search Design study Pilot application etc. Output: elaborated "Business plan 2" Input: "Business plan 2" plus description of activities under Phase 2 (~ 30 pages) 90% budget Activities: Development, prototyping, testing, piloting, miniaturisation, scaling-up, market replication, research Output: "investor-ready Business plan 3" Promote instrument as quality label for successful projects Facilitate access to private finance Support via networking , training, information, addressing i.a. IP management, knowledge sharing, dissemination SME window in the EU financial facilities (debt facility and equity facility) Possible connection to PPC (and PPI?) 10-15% success 50-70% success Lump sum: 50.000 € ~ 6 months 1-5 M€ EC funding ~ 12 to 24 months

  9. Fast Track to Innovation • Any legal entity may participate in an FTI action • Actions funded under FTI shall be innovation actions • FTI shall be open to any field under LEITs or SCs • Proposals may be submitted at any time, with 3 cut-off dates per year • Time to grant signature or notification of decision ≤6 months • Criterion of impact given a higher weighting • ≤5 legal entities shall participate in an action • Amount of grant ≤€3 million

  10. PCP - Pre-Commercial ProcurementPPI – Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions • When to use PCP: • Challenge requires R&D to get new solutions developed. Problem clear, but pros / cons of several potential competing solutions not compared / validated yet. No commitment to deploy (PPI) yet. • When to use PPI • Challenge requires solution which is almost on the market or already on the market in small quantity but not meeting public sector requirements for large scale deployment yet. No R&D involved (R&D already done, or no R&D needed to solve problem)

  11. PCP and PPI complementary • PCP to steer the development of solutions towards concrete public sector needs, whilst comparing/validating alternative solution approaches from various vendors • PPI to act as launching customer / early adopter / first buyer of innovative commercial end-solutions newly arriving on the market Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions (PPI) R&D / Pre-commercial Procurement (PCP) Phase 0 Curiosity Driven Research Phase 1 Solution design Phase 4 Deployment of commercial end-products Diffusion of newly developed products / services Phase 2 Prototype development Phase 3 Original development of limited volume of first test products / services Supplier A Supplier B Supplier B Supplier B Supplier(s) A,B,C,D and/or X Supplier C Supplier C Supplier D Supplier D Supplier D Also normally multiple sourcing here to keep competition going … in line with WTO proc. rules, EU Treaty, State aid free

  12. Support to innovation procurement • 8 areas topping-up call budgets for PCP/PPI • 9 networks of public procurers • Baseline? - €94 million in FP7 and CIP WP13 • Inducementprizes • In Health, Energy, ICT and NMP: currently €11 million budgeted • Indications to addprizes in Food, Transport and Climate • CSAsto preparemarketuptake • 1-2 suchCSAs in almost all areas: exploitation services, assessments of marketbarriers, awarenessand promotion… • Support to EIP agendas • Selected parts of EIP agendas supportedunder relevant Societal Challenges: large scaledemos, R&I, brokering… • Social innovation: central to number of Societal Challenge topics

  13. Implementation now European Union budget Provides funds Counter or Co-Guarantees Invests Guarantee Society Venture capital Fund Bank Invests SMEs Lends SMEs How do the financial instruments for R&I SME work?

  14. Access to finance Horizon 2020 (+ COSME another EU programme support financial instruments for SMEs) • Equity instrument for SMEs’ R&I and growth • Equity Facility for R&I (H2020) • Equity Facility for Growth (COSME) • Debt instrument for SMEs’ R&I and growth • SMEs & Small Midcaps Guarantee Facility for R&I (H2020) • Loan Guarantee Facility(COSME) • Debt instrument • for larger midcaps, large corporates, research bodies, etc

  15. Investment-readiness schemes (including coaching, mentoring, etc) Detecting and monitoring high growth SME profiles Raising awareness of VC firms and business angels Fostering business angels (deal volumes now comparable to VC!), crowd-funding, family offices etc… Technical assistance for financial intermediaries (Large Scale) Experimental Facilities  FIRE Accompanying measures

  16. How can FIRE help you? • You are an innovator or entrepreneur or SME with beta technology or innovative technology but not fully tested. • Your innovative technology relates to internet (from networking protocols, IoT to content centric networking). • You need an experimental facility for validating your innovative research and developments on large scale or real conditions. • FIRE can help you in giving you access to such facilities.

  18. How can you participate? Now in FP7: Open Calls launched by the Facility Projects • One single entity participation (Research Institutes, Universities, SMEs, Industry) • Evaluation as in EC calls but: Short proposal, Light evaluation, 1 Call/year/facility • Financing: Max 200K €/project but also Open Access • Submit proposal, in consortium as new partner, or subcontractor for small exp. • IPR Rules: To be negotiated with Facility Provider but IPRs can be protected In H2020: Specific FIRE+ objective in WP 2014-15: • FIRE+: testing your ideas through experimentation, testing and validation • Experiments with a clear innovation and business perspective • Experimenting with EIT support, based on new business models (SMEs & startups)
