2 What is Horizon 2020? The European Union programme for research and innovation for with a budget of 77 billion (in current prices that include inflation, comprising both the TFEU and Euratom parts) A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area: Responding to the economic crisis to invest in jobs and growth Addressing people s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment Strengthening the EU s global position in research, innovation and technology

3 Three priorities Excellent science Industrial leadership Societal challenges

4 What is new? A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives* Coupling research to innovation from research to retail, all forms of innovation Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health, clean energy and transport Simplified access, for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond The 7 th Research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) There is a separate programme for Euratom activities

5 Priority 1. Excellent science Why: World class science is the foundation of tomorrow s technologies, jobs and wellbeing Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research talent Researchers need access to the best infrastructures

6 Priority 2. Industrial leadership Why: Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro-electronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation Europe needs more innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to create growth and jobs

7 Priority 3. Societal challenges Why: Concerns of citizens and society/eu policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport, etc) cannot be achieved without innovation Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up

8 Fast Track to Innovation pilot Innovation actions; Any technology field under 'Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies' and 'Societal challenges', Bottom-up-driven logic; Continuously open call, three cut-off dates per year in ; Time to grant not exceeding six months; No more than five legal entities in any one action; Each grant shall not exceed EUR 3 million.

9 Horizon 2020, EU Framework Programme for R&I 1) A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area: Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth Addressing people s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment Strengthening the EU s global position in research, innovation and technology 2) Over 77 billion (current price) mostly for 3 main priorities: 1. Excellent science EUR million 2. Industrial Leadership EUR million 3. Societal Challenges EUR million 3) Emphasis on innovation; Strong focus on SMEs; R&I as critical vector for growth and jobs 9

10 Horizon Industrial Leadership Priority Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (LEITs) (ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space) Access to risk finance Leveraging private finance and venture capital for research and innovation Innovation in SMEs Fostering all forms of innovation in all types of SMEs EUR mn EUR mn EUR 589 mn + complemented by a minimum of 20% of the total budget for societal challenges + LEITs and 'Access to risk finance' with strong SME focus The most important EU programme ever to support debt and equity investments in R&I (twice FP7 Debt FI budget) At least 1/3 of the budget to support innovative/rdi-driven SMEs 3

11 Why EU Access to Finance for Innovating SMEs? Over 20 million SMEs in the EU: account for more than 99% of all companies employ 66.5% of all privatesector workforce Very flexible, adapt quickly Stable employer, source of organic growth and innovation Support economic and social cohesion, interwoven in local communities 11

12 Why EU Access to Finance for Innovating SMEs? "68% of companies consider the lack of financial resources as the main obstacle to the commercialisation of innovative products or services." Source: European Commission, 2014 Innobarometer survey The role of public support in the commercialisation of innovations 2013: Access to finance described by over 15 % of SMEs as their most pressing problem Source: EC and ECB, SMEs Access to Finance Survey 2013 Analytical Report (14 November 2013). 2015: Improvement, mainly due to low interest rates: 11% SMEs describing access to finance as the most pressing problem. Significant differences among countries. 12

13 Why EU Access to Finance for Innovating SMEs? Innovation is often capital-intensive and commercialisation of new goods and services takes usually many years. Private capital lenders / financiers are generally quite risk-averse, which means a shortfall of finance for riskier firms especially SMEs engaged in R&I activities and also for riskier R&I activities themselves, at all scales. Due to the economic downturn, this lack of access to risk finance has become even more stringent. The market has a difficult relationship with uncertainty and estimating the potential value of new technologies, new products, new resources, new firms or new entrepreneurial capabilities. Yet, Europe needs to attract more investment in research and innovation, especially to give a boost to strategic investment in Key Technologies (KETs) that underpin (industrial / SME ) innovation across existing and emerging sectors Yet, Europe needs more innovating SMEs to create growth and jobs! 13

14 Horizon 2020 Access to Risk Finance Support 1) What type of support is on offer? - Risk-sharing in the form of loans and guarantees - Risk finance in the form of equity 2) For who or what? - RDI-driven/ innovative SMEs & small midcaps - Ambitious RDI projects carried out by a variety of recipients (companies, stand-alone projects etc.) 3) To serve which larger purpose? - Stimulate more investment in research and innovation, notably by the private sector - No market distortion: intervention only to address financing gaps in the R&D&I delivery chain (notably due to high risk), and as such help translate R&D results to the market (/innovation) (*)) 14

15 InnovFin - Key Figures Until 2020, EU will contribute well over EUR 2bn as a risk buffer to InnovFin. EIB Group commits the same amount. This will result in total debt financing of over EUR 24bn, of which around EUR 9 billion to flow to innovative SMEs and small midcaps The overall economic impact in terms of investment in Research & Innovation in Europe over the next years (until the end of implementation of Horizon 2020) will amount to a projected EUR 48bn 15

19 Investing in innovative SMEs/ small midcaps via equity Part of a single EU Equity Financial Instrument (managed by EIF) supporting Union enterprises growth and research and innovation (R&I) from the early-stage to the growth and expansion stages Horizon 2020 budget is invested via EIF into VC and business angel funds that on their turn invest into innovative companies EUR 430m in equity support for companies established in EU MS or Horizon 2020 associated countries that are in the pre-seed, seed, or start-up phase mostly Focus on Horizon 2020 objectives (e.g. ICT, life sciences, clean energy, high-tech) Investment size up to EUR 30m, up to 50% of total commitments Apply via 4

20 Simplification in the design of Horizon 2020 Same set of rules for all actions (very few exceptions) One project one funding rate (max. 100% of total eligible costs, except for innovation actions, where a 70% maximum applies for profit making entities; indirect eligible costs: flat rate of 25% of direct eligible costs) Shorter time-to-grant (8 months) Simpler rules for grants (e.g. broader acceptance of participants accounting practices for direct costs; no timesheets for personnel working full time on a project) Fewer, better targeted controls and audits Participant Portal the single gateway for all exchanges in managing grants and experts Fully paperless management of grants and expert contracts as a continuous effort.

21 Strong participation by SMEs Integrated approach - a minimum of 20% of the total budget for societal challenges and LEITs to go to SMEs A new SME instrument - a minimum of 7 % of the total budget for societal challenges and LEITs A dedicated activity for research-intensive SMEs in 'Innovation in SMEs' 'Access to risk finance' will have a strong SME focus (debt and equity facility) Simplification with particular benefits for SMEs (e.g. single entry point)

22 Widening participation Principle of excellence: continue to allocate funding on the basis of competitive calls, selecting only the best projects Clear division of labour between cohesion policy and Horizon 2020 Cohesion policy: support for regions in building up their research and innovation capacity Horizon 2020: widen participation, better coordination between the two Union funding programmes, support policy learning reforms Accompanying measures in Horizon 2020 to ensure that excellence prevails wherever it exists, including: twinning, ERA chairs, support for access to international networks, development of smart specialisation strategies
