European Innovation Council Pilot 2018-2020
Horizon 2020 has potential in terms of generating breakthrough market-creating innovation although such support can be strengthened substantially

A distinct challengehellip
Share of young leading RampD firms (yollies started in 1975 or later) ndash Europe lags behind

Success stories
Towards EIC in FP9
1 Stakeholder consultation on FP9 (Q1 2018)
2 Commission proposal for MFF post-2020 (summer 2018)
3 Commission proposals for programmes post-2020 (summer 2018)
4 Experiences with the EIC pilot (from now onwards)
5 2019 - 2020 EP elections new Commission negotiations and adoption of FP9
6 2021 start of FP9
Towards EIC in FP9
The upcoming wave of breakthrough innovation will
bull Be more based on science and expertise where Europe is strong (AI data graphene gene editing etc)
bull Transform existing sectors with massive economic and social benefits (transport healthcare energy education etc)
But this will require major changes
bull More high risk and longer term funding (innovation cycle longer than the app economy higher technological risks)
bull Closer interaction with public policy and regulation (to enter and scale up in heavily regulated markets)
High Level group of Innovators gave their first set of key recommendations for a European Innovation Council
1 Bring all relevant EU innovation financing into a single fit for purpose EIC
2 Empower the innovator
3 Focus on excellence even if high risk crowding in private investors
4 Amplify dont duplicate existing innovation ecosystems
5 Connect breakthrough innovators to public policy and regulations

Towards EIC in FP9
The upcoming wave of breakthrough innovation will
bull Be more based on science and expertise where Europe is strong (AI data graphene gene editing etc)
bull Transform existing sectors with massive economic and social benefits (transport healthcare energy education etc)
But this will require major changes
bull More high risk and longer term funding (innovation cycle longer than the app economy higher technological risks)
bull Closer interaction with public policy and regulation (to enter and scale up in heavily regulated markets)
High Level group of Innovators gave their first set of key recommendations for a European Innovation Council
1 Bring all relevant EU innovation financing into a single fit for purpose EIC
2 Empower the innovator
3 Focus on excellence even if high risk crowding in private investors
4 Amplify dont duplicate existing innovation ecosystems
5 Connect breakthrough innovators to public policy and regulations

3 Commission proposals for programmes post-2020 (summer 2018)
4 Experiences with the EIC pilot (from now onwards)
5 2019 - 2020 EP elections new Commission negotiations and adoption of FP9
6 2021 start of FP9
Towards EIC in FP9
The upcoming wave of breakthrough innovation will
bull Be more based on science and expertise where Europe is strong (AI data graphene gene editing etc)
bull Transform existing sectors with massive economic and social benefits (transport healthcare energy education etc)
But this will require major changes
bull More high risk and longer term funding (innovation cycle longer than the app economy higher technological risks)
bull Closer interaction with public policy and regulation (to enter and scale up in heavily regulated markets)
High Level group of Innovators gave their first set of key recommendations for a European Innovation Council
1 Bring all relevant EU innovation financing into a single fit for purpose EIC
2 Empower the innovator
3 Focus on excellence even if high risk crowding in private investors
4 Amplify dont duplicate existing innovation ecosystems
5 Connect breakthrough innovators to public policy and regulations
