Tekes – the Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation
Tekes is the most important publicly funded expert organisation for financing research, development and innovation in Finland. We boost wide-ranging innovation activities in research communities, industry and service sectors. A broad-based view on innovation Tekes promotes a broad-based view on innovation: besides funding technological breakthroughs, Tekes emphasises the significance of service-related, design, business, and social innovations. Funding for challenging R&D and business development Tekes works with the top innovative companies and research units in Finland. Every year, Tekes finances some 1,500 business research and development projects, and almost 600 public research projects at universities, research institutes and universities of applied sciences. Research, development and innovation funding is targeted to projects that create in the long-term the greatest benefits for the economy and society. Tekes does not derive any financial profit from its activities, nor claim any intellectual proprietary rights.

‒ but limited to a maximum of 70 %
for innovation actions (non-profit organisations to a maximum of 100%).
• Single indirect cost model • 25% flat rate for all
FP7
The WP approach of Horizon 2020
A strong challenge-based approach, allowing applicants to have considerable freedom to come up with innovative solutions
Simplified list of possible types of action (e.g. research and innovation at 100%; innovation actions at 70%,…)
Strong emphasis on expected impact, less prescription
Cross-cutting issues mainstreamed (e.g. social sciences, gender, international co-operation…)
Work programmes with 2-year duration
Cooperative Projects
What is a Cooperation Project?

form the management board of
the project and manage their
group.
• Important
if SMEs and industry is
involved in the project, IPR
have to be managed carefully!

III. Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies
• Key enabling technologies and support to innovative SMEs to exit the economic crisis
• Emphasis on R&D and innovation areas with strong industrial dimension and based on industrial needs
• Involvement of industrial participants and SMEs to
maximise expected impact
• LEIT projects should be outcome oriented and should bring close to application the technologies developed
Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies (LEIT)
A strategic programming approach
Work programme preparation based on guidance obtained from strategic programming exercise
To increase impact of the funding, and a more integrated approach
Work programmes with 2 year-duration
Leitmotif of the first work programme : economic crisis and the path to sustainable growth - Horizon 2020 can make a significant contribution to this effort
'key drivers' used to identify areas on which resources and effort will be focused for maximum impact
o focusing on sustainable competitiveness, innovation and growth;
o measures to leverage engagement of industry, including SMEs;
o access to finance;
o developing new knowledge and contributing to skills;
o deployment of enabling technologies;
o measures to address the research and innovation divide;
o supporting strong partnership with Member States; and
o strategic approach to international cooperation.
Focus Areas
Strategic programming identifies focus areas, each covered by a specific call, that:
o Bring together activities from different challenges and enabling
technologies
o Provide support across the innovation chain from research, to
development, to proof of concept, piloting, demonstration
projects, and to setting standards and policy frameworks.
o Make use of the full spectrum of funding schemes and types of action
e.g. research and innovation actions, innovation actions, ERANets,
SME instrument…
o Integrate different perspectives, including from the social sciences and
humanities, gender perspectives, and international strategy
18
Key enabling technologies and support to innovative SMEs to exit economic crisis
• Emphasis on R&D and innovation areas with strong industrial
dimension. Activities primarily developed through relevant industrial
roadmaps. (ETPs) • Involvement of industrial participants and SMEs to maximise
expected impact => evaluated in proposal !
• Funded Projects will be outcome oriented, developing key technology building blocks and bring them closer to the market.
Focus Areas
III. Industrial mastering and deployment of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs)
What are KETs?
• Six strategic technologies
• Driving competitiveness and growth opportunities
• Contributions to solving societal challenges
• Knowledge- and Capital- intensive
• Cut across many sectors
• Nanotechnologies
• Advanced Materials
• Micro- and nano- electronics
• Photonics
• Biotechnology
• Advanced Manufacturing
European KET Strategy:
• EC Communications
(2009)512 & (2012)341
• KET High-level Group
The issues regarding KETs
• Europe has strong position in science and in patenting activity
• EU actors are at top of patent ranking in each KET
• But there is a gap between the technology base and the manufacturing base
• We need to add product development (e.g. demonstrators) and competitive manufacturing to the technologies
From Lab to Industry to Market
• Cross-Cutting KETs in Horizon 2020
• 30% of KETs budget to integrated KETs projects
• Activities closer to the market and applications
• Pilot activities to combine at least 2 different KETs and
integrated advanced manufacturing technologies
• Contributing to solving societal challenges
• Open to international cooperation
• Key principles to encourage a responsible approach
to research and innovation
V. Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) Definitions and Criteria for R&D&I funding under EU policies and laws
Source : Communication from the EC - ‘A European strategy for Key Enabling Technologies – A bridge to growth and jobs’ – 26-06-2012
The LEIT part of the WP uses Technology Readiness Levels (or TRL) from 3-4 up to 7-8
Synergies with other EU, national or regional programmes are encouraged: Some topics are particularly suitable for additional funding
e.g. to explore paths to commercial exploitation or to deploy H2020-funded technologies
Covering the innovation cycle from research to market
H2020 – LEIT/KETs: From R&D to close-to-market activities
• Use of Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs from 3-4 to 8)
• Both funding rates
100% funding: TRLs 3-6
70% funding : TRLs 5-8
• Cross-cutting KETs (combinations of KETs)
• Seamless coverage provided by FETs/ERC – LEIT – Societal Challenges
• Ground prepared in FP7 (first pilots and demonstrators, innovation activities)
Work Programme topics
•Structure reflects the challenge based approach
•3 key features :
• Specific Challenge o sets context, problem to be addressed, why intervention is necessary
• Scope o delineates the problem, specifies the focus and the boundaries of the
potential action BUT without overly describing specific approaches
• Expected Impact o describe the key elements of what is expected to be achieved in
relation to the specific challenge
Special characteristics
• Industry has a leading role in defining research priorities
• Pre-defined budget ensures continuity and commitment
• Focused on enabling industrial technologies
• Increased use of SME-friendly instruments and
demonstration
• H2020: Roadmap under preparation with large stakeholder
involvement and public consultation
V. Public Private Partnerships(PPPs)
PPPs in Horizon 2020
PPPs identified in the Specific Programme
Industrial Investment Package of 10 July 2013 :
