4 Challenges for EU Chemical Industry Competitiveness at risk due to relatively high cost of production low market growth delocalisation of customer industries Key drivers for competitiveness innovation sustainability To keep manufacturing of chemicals in Europe higher-added-value products increased eco-efficiency 4

5 Enhancing EU chemistry R&D Industrial R&D expenditure structurally lower than in competing regions Insufficient public R&D support for chemistry Mutually agreed need to enhance chemical R&D, innovation in Europe! Science Politics Industry Unions Finance Press Public NGO's Engagement of all is key to the success! 5

6 To remain competitive we need to innovate we need to innovate faster we need to innovate faster and at lower costs 6

7 Research cooperation On European, transnational and national level ( engage the best minds ) Industry moves more and more from closed labs to leveraging external assets New models of cooperation are tested Research cooperation is extremely important for industry 7

8 Advantages Define relevant themes Networks with scientists and business partners (customers, suppliers, the whole value chain ) Use synergies Financial incentives especially for high-risk projects Possibilities of new business even outside of project area Build expertise in new technologies and/or markets Contact to potential future employees 8
