Why does R&D matter?
• 3% Action Plan (2003);
• Each Member State has set its own target for increased R&D intensity;
• Green Paper on ERA (2007);

The gap is mainly in the private sector

Is low R&D-intensity a result of lack of
dynamism of EU’s industrial structure ?
![Page 14: Science Technology and Innovation in the chemicals sector: the role of SusChem](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/568151ad550346895dbfdc97/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• 85% gap is due to low business investment
• structural differences between EU-US – medium-tech industries dominate in the EU

Countries with high involvement of private sector in funding of R&D have also the highest levels of government-funded R&D

How to reverse this trend?
• INNOVATION is the only European asset that can make the difference
• Open innovation schemes• More investments in high-tech sectors• Start-up programmes in Universities
linked to chemical entrepreneurship programmes
• Promotion of Public-Private-Partnerships• Better exploitation of funding
opportunities along the innovation chain
• Focus on excellence – clusters and regions
![Page 32: Science Technology and Innovation in the chemicals sector: the role of SusChem](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/568151ad550346895dbfdc97/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Technology platforms: a key instrument for a new competitiveness policy• They build strategic partnerships between the public and
private sector, the academia, the civil society• Through this, they should reduce the risk in investing on
research, creating a better environment for the increase of private investments
• They provide roadmaps for planning “incremental” innovation
• They act as fora for strategic thinking towards “radical” innovation
• And improve the diffusion of sustainable technologies also suggesting how to overcome regulatory barriers, to define new procurement rules, economic instruments, etc.
![Page 33: Science Technology and Innovation in the chemicals sector: the role of SusChem](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/568151ad550346895dbfdc97/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
How Technology Platforms may contribute to FP7
• Technology Platforms are generating the political momentum for a stronger industrial participation in the Framework Programme
• Several TPs, among which the SusChem, are cited in the FP and in the SP text as one of the sources of the FP7 research agenda
• Major contributions are given in the phase of preparation of the work programmes
![Page 34: Science Technology and Innovation in the chemicals sector: the role of SusChem](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/568151ad550346895dbfdc97/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

The importance of SusChem
• It was able to mobilise stakeholders around key objectives
• It produced important and substantial documents, from the vision, to the strategic research agenda, to the implementation plan
• It should evolve through a more capillar organisation at national/regional level, in order to better involve SMEs and local actors
• It should extend its scope towards innovation leadership issues (possible recommendation from the HLG)
