The challenge
Europe is confronted with: socio-economic disparities between
countries and regions increasing international competition a technological revolution and ageing
population limited capacity to transform R&D into
commercial products and processes

Innovation – A regional necessity
the capacity of enterprises to innovate – base of competitiveness
Less developed regions have an even greater interest in developing their innovative capacity
Regions are the appropriate level for stimulating innovation
Potential also for less exposed sectors

ICT – The largest theme in FP7
ICT technology pillars Pushing further performance & functionality
ICT technology integration Integrating multi-technology sets that underlie new services
ICT applied research Providing the knowledge & the means to develop a wide
range of innovative ICT applications
Future and Emerging Technologies Supporting collaborative research at the frontier of
knowledge
22 Feb 2007 EU-Russia Co-operation 16
Can the Lisbon Agenda be achieved ?
Europe is determined to compete in a globalised &
ever more competitive world
Europe is putting Lisbon policies in place, thus …
… creates the “right environment” to be competitive
Single market of products, services, knowledge, ideas Overcomes fragmentation by pulling resources together Invests in the future: R&D, education, innovation
22 Feb 2007 EU-Russia Co-operation 17
Conclusion
Europe must renew the basis of its competitiveness placing the main emphasis on knowledge, innovation and human capital
To achieve these objectives, one must mobilise all appropriate resources
A key element for funding innovation: Framework Programme: funding research
and development to produce knowledge
