INNOROBO - PARIS Europe's Future is Digital* Commissioner Oettinger: "My objective is to have at least one world class digital innovation hub in every region in Europe." Empower any business, wherever it is located in Europe to master its digital transition Regions and local authorities have a key role to play EU funding: at least 500 million in the next 5 years Target Access to digital technologies and expertise within "working distance" for any industry in Europe, especially SMEs, mid-caps, non-tech * Exerpts from Speech by Commissioner Oettinger at Hannover Messe 2015 21

Funding opportunities for Digital Innovation Hubs European Commission National and regional Authorities H2020 200m in the Horizon 2020 work programme 2016-2017 300m in the Horizon 2020 work programme 2018-2020, focus area "Digitising and transforming European industry and services" Focusing on networking Digital Innovation Hubs and highly innovative cross border experiments European Structural and Investment Funds ESIF support for digital growth is based on national or regional Digital Growth Strategies and Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation. Around 2bn will support digitising EU industry, in particular SMEs, to develop ICT products and services, e- commerce and the take-up of ICT, Around 1.2bn will support e-inclusion, e-accessibility, e- Learning etc. to enhance human capital for the digitised economy and society, Around 7.6bn will go into intelligent transport, smart grids, e-health and e-government, offering also procurement opportunities for IT firms, Over 100 regions and 14 countries at national level will also invest in ICT-related research and innovation. Total funding for RIS3 accounts for 42 BILLION EURO. Other sources of funding (private, innovation funds of regions, loans, etc) 37
