Background

• Initial study in 2012 which has identified 110 European

clusters which were working also in the defence sector,

• In 2013, integration of information related to those clusters in

the Defence Procurement Gateway- Per pMS, access to clusters website

- Contact table with sector identification

• November 2014- EDA, EC and EURADA co-organised a

workshop on Strengthening Europe’s Defence Industry: Dual

use and smart clustering- Participation of more than 150 people

- Cluster to Cluster networking sessions

Dual use products, services and technologies can address the needs of

both defence and civil communities

Dual use guide available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish –online & printed

http://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/defence/industrial-policy/smes/index_en.htm

What is dual use?

Page 16: European Opportunities for Defence- related Clusters · ES Basque Aerospace Cluster (As. Cluster de Aeronáutica y Espacio del País Vasco - HEGAN) ES Madrid Aerospace Cluster [MAC]

• SMEs participating in defence markets today are (almost) exclusively involved in dual-use activities

• Armed Forces rely increasingly on development of civil industrial products and technologies

• Growing # of research & technologies for multiple applications: nano-electronics, unmanned systems, synthetic biology, big data, 3D printing, etc.

• In 2013 licensed exports of dual use products amounted to €48 billion. This represented 3.1% of total extra-EU exports.

Why dual use?

Page 17: European Opportunities for Defence- related Clusters · ES Basque Aerospace Cluster (As. Cluster de Aeronáutica y Espacio del País Vasco - HEGAN) ES Madrid Aerospace Cluster [MAC]

EUROPEAN STRUCTURAL & INVESTMENT FUNDS (ESIF)

17

Page 18: European Opportunities for Defence- related Clusters · ES Basque Aerospace Cluster (As. Cluster de Aeronáutica y Espacio del País Vasco - HEGAN) ES Madrid Aerospace Cluster [MAC]

• ESIF may be used in defence sector as long as they contribute to objectives of the fund

• ERDF may fund defence activities and dual-use activities in research and innovation, as part of a smart specialisation strategy

• Commission will promote funding opportunities through ESIF to the benefit of defence stakeholders & prepare a guidance paper

Dimensions of innovationThere are several types of innovation

- Process, product/service, strategy,

which can vary in degree of newness:

- Incremental to radical,

and impact:

continuous to discontinuous

www.eda.europa.eu50

Conditions for succesfull InnovationSeveral trends align to change the conditions for successful

innovation

• Innovation increasingly relies on effective interaction between the

science base and the business sector.

• Networking and collaboration among firms are now more

important than in the past

• Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially new

technology-based firms, have a more important role in the

development and diffusion of new technologies

• The globalisation of economies is making countries’ innovation

systems more interdependent

Page 51: European Opportunities for Defence- related Clusters · ES Basque Aerospace Cluster (As. Cluster de Aeronáutica y Espacio del País Vasco - HEGAN) ES Madrid Aerospace Cluster [MAC]

www.eda.europa.eu51

Drivers for innovation (Schumpeter approach)- Financial pressures to reduce costs, increase efficiency, do more with

less, etc

- Increased competition

- Shorter product life cycles

- Value migration

- Stricter regulation

- Industry and community needs for sustainable development

- Increased demand for accountability

- Demographic, social and maket changes

- Rising customer expectations regarding service and quality

- Changing economy

- Greater availability of potentially useful technologies coupled with a need to exceed the competition in these technologies

Which are relevant to

Defence

environment?

Key Challenges 1/3• Defence R&T budgets are shrinking and thus

‒ Production of new collaborative projects is suffering

‒ Less projects are developed

‒ Minimum number of countries are participating in collaborative research

‒ Limited participation / interest of industry

RTO’s / SME’s whenever possible demonstrating interest (e.g Pilot Project – JIP

programs) but in general do not actively participating

Nevertheless the trend seems to be reverting

This year the number and volume of collaborative projects seems to be increasing

• Existing SRA’s are fragmented and coordinated capability driven research is limited/

missing

- OSRA will close this gap assuring the coordination and direct linkage with capabilities

- Nevertheless, it is still needed an “authoritative instrument” to validate OSRA

prioritization

Page 53: European Opportunities for Defence- related Clusters · ES Basque Aerospace Cluster (As. Cluster de Aeronáutica y Espacio del País Vasco - HEGAN) ES Madrid Aerospace Cluster [MAC]

www.eda.europa.eu53

Key Challenges 2/3• Technological innovation rapidly disrupts the military domain

- New non-traditional defence technology providers are emerging out of the traditional

supply chains.

• New emerging funding instruments are disrupting the traditional national – bilateral –

collaborative funding models.

- Need to add another dimension to prioritization – from capability /time to

capability/available funding instrument/time

Key Challenges 3/3• The cost of acquiring new technology is rising

- Need to rethink technology acquisition strategies

• Keep national critical components, seek collaboration for the rest

• Opportunity for innovative modular architectures

• Discrepancy between RT and acquisition, resource, and requirements communities in

terms of understanding of the technological advances

- Leads to the famous “valley of death”

- Not optimal planning / resource spending

- Funding Gap between R&T and Dev is a

“no-win”situation

Approaching Innovation in defence

• Should we look apart from R&T for?

- Innovations in military doctrine/operations

- Innovations in “military systems”

- Innovations in military logistics and support

- Innovations in military acquisition and systems design

- Importance of process and organisational change

• Pain points to be considered

- The effects of defence R&D investment – the relationship between defence and civilian innovation

- Procurement reform and defence R&D

- Defence research facilities and primes have a history of isolation

• Innovation requires extroversion by default. Can we learn from similar sectors e.g Energy?

- Dual use / spin in / …how do we move forward given the fact that defence industries might be

reluctant to embrace the concept?

Our approach on Military Technological Innovation

Innovation in Defenceis targeting the creation of Military Value a.k.a in delivering Military Capabilities

Military innovation may not require high technology: Low – tech expedients may suffice if coupled with creative operational or tactical concepts

www.eda.europa.eu109

Key Skills and Competences (KSC) for Defence

• Background- Pressure on defence budgets, lower number of new programmes, ageing

workforce- risk of skills base erosion;

- EU Council 2013 (‚... stresses the need to further develop the necessary

skills identified as essential to the future of the European defence

industry);

- EDA mapping key European defence skills and competences (study

commissioned, finalised in 2015);

• Current actions- Developing a KSC element within the EDA ESIF mechanism and

launching EDA technical assistance on key skills and competences

related projects with regard to the European Social Fund (2017);

- Analysis on key skills and competences in the Government (MoD)

domain (study commissioned, 2017);

Page 110: European Opportunities for Defence- related Clusters · ES Basque Aerospace Cluster (As. Cluster de Aeronáutica y Espacio del País Vasco - HEGAN) ES Madrid Aerospace Cluster [MAC]

www.eda.europa.eu110

Output of the EDA KSC study

1. Taxonomy of skills and competences required by the

defence sector and distinguishing which skills are critical for

each defence domain;

2. The supply and demand side of key skills and competences

(current procurement, maintenance and upgrade

programmes vs. European-wide courses and programmes

which promote skills for defence);

3. Prioritised list of skills and competences considering

importance to industry, uniqueness to defence, the

relevance to the CDP Priority Actions, and any anticipated

gaps in availability

New area of EDA’s engagement re ESIF

• European Social Fund (ESF) in support of

Key Skills and Competencies (KSC) in defence

EDA about to address MoDs in order

to foster and gather nationally

projects-fact-sheets enhancing KSC.

Closing the “skills gap” by training

for productive KSC, linked to

concrete defence job opportunities

EDA will select some pilot projects

to develop fully and free-of–

charge by an EDA’s contractor,

according to ESF rule, when

applying to ESF calls
