0 FI-PPP as an innovation instrument and as a complex ecosystem that involves many different actors in the ICT value chain has to face various challenges0 Challenge 1 - Market dynamics. Develop short-term innovation cycles aligned

with long-term evolution of the Internet technological foundations for business innovation.

0 Challenge 2 – Customer-driven business generation processes. Support lean business generation processes which involve intense customer-driven processes for technology valorisation.

0 Challenge 3 – Future Internet usability. availability of the GEs would not directly lead to the expected growth and impact unless the challenges of simplicity, value and usability are addressed.
