SOCIETAL CHALLANGES

FOOD +70% by 2050

In 2009, European Member States and the European Commission identified Key

EnablingTechnologies (KETs) for their potential impact in strengthening Europe's industrial and

innovation capacity.

Six KETs

nanotechnology micro and nanoelectronics advanced materials photonics industrial biotechnology advanced manufacturing systems

KEY ENANBLIG TECHNOLOGY

Whilst European R&D is generally strong in new KET technologies, the HLG has observed that the transition from ideas arising from basic research to competitive KETs production is the weakest link in European KET enabled value chains.

The gap between basic knowledge generation and the subsequent commercialization of this knowledge in marketable products, has been commonly identified across the KETs and is known in broad terms as the "valley of death" issue.

This “Valley of Death” has been identified in many competitor countries, including the USA, China and Taiwan. All have established coordinated programmes in strategically important areas that cover the full innovation chain addressing basic and applied research, demonstrators, standardization measures, deployment and market access, all at the same time and, significantly, in a logical joined-up manner.

THE “VALLEY OF DEATH”

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO KETS FOR FUTURECOMPETITIVENESS: THREE PILLAR BRIDGE MODEL TO PASS ACROSS THE "VALLEY OF DEATH "

The technological research pillar based on technological facilities supported by research technology organisation;

The product development pillar based on pilot lines and demonstrator supported by industrial consortia

The competitive manufacturing pillar based on globally competitive manufacturing facilities supported by anchor companies.

Key Enabling Technologies…..

……..multidisciplinary and trans-sectorial, cutting across many technology areas with a trend towards convergence, technologyintegration and the potential to induce structural change

INDUSTRIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY

“the application of science and technology to living organisms, as well as parts, products and models thereof, to alter living or non-living materials for the production of knowledge, goods and services.”

Main biotechnology techniques :

DNA/RNA.

Proteins and other molecules

Cell and tissue culture and engineering.

Process biotechnology techniques.

Gene and RNA vectors

Bioinformatics

Nanobiotechnology

Emerging TrendBiological Intermediates substituting petrochemical

building blocks

Synthetic biology

very important step forward, since it allows designing chemicals that would not occur by natural pathways.

to obtain “unnatural” products by modifying bacteria (i.e. Escherichia coli) or modifying yeasts opens a wide new field for the production of tailor made chemicals for very different purposes.

Advanced research synthetic biology,

- At present the genetic modification of bacteria allows to obtain for example tailor recombinant polymers (protein, polysaccharides ect.) or foreseen applications as elimination of toxic residues ect.

………still limitation in process sustainability

- Sources- Energy balance in different processing steps- Environmental impact in the processing steps (chemicals, etc)- Economic balance- Product stability- Interfaces- Regulation- Ethical IssueTo overcome the limitation of actual process sustainability

………Fully exploit the scope of relevant R&D definitions in its programmes which support the full and simultaneous implementation the

innovation chain, from basic research, through technological research, product

development and prototyping up to globally competitive manufacturing.
