Joint Programming Initiative More years – Better Lives Meeting JPI Members, Berlin 27/01/2011 Peter Wintlev-Jensen Deputy Head of Unit Katarzyna Balucka-Debska Policy & Projects Officer ICT for Inclusion DG Information Society and Media European Commission
Demographic Ageing- why? Societal challenge – ageing of the EU population Population 65+: 2008 – 81 mio 2060 – 151 mio Old-aged dependency ratio : 2008 – 4 to 1 2030 – 3 to 1 Socio-economic implications Budget constraints and unsustainable health and social systems – average total spending on health care in the EU 27 by p.ps of GDP by 2060 Total aged-related expenditure (inc. health, pensions, long-term etc.) by 4.75 p.ps. by 2060 in the EU average Shrinking workforce in the care sector and insufficient number of health specialists Innovation and active & healthy ageing Great market potential and promise of active and healthy ageing solutions - 9% of GDP in innovation capacity, but… Innovation (in all forms) needed to address changing needs A number of bottlenecks and weaknesses, on demand and supply side, such as citizens' inability to use innovations, absence of incentives for innovation, lack of clear business models for integrated care, public procurement barriers, inadequate regulatory frameworks etc.

European Innovation Partnership (EIP) in general Announced in Communication on Innovation Union adopted by the European Commission on 6 October 2010 under Europe 2020 flagship initiatives A novel concept of the Commission to tackle societal challenges through linking research and innovation and uptake and turn them into opportunities EIP on Active and Healthy Ageing – selected a pilot project to be launched in 2011, followed by a strategic work plan
Innovation Union : the EIP concept European Innovation Partnerships: Innovation Partnerships are a new approach to EU research and innovation. They will mobilise stakeholders - European and national, public and private - behind well-defined goals in policy areas which combine tackling societal challenges with potential for Europe to become a world leader. The Partnerships will step up R&D, coordinate investment, speed up standards and mobilise demand. The Commission will provide seed funds for the launch of the first partnerships, to leverage stakeholder funding.
Pilot EIP on Active and Healthy Ageing TARGET : enable citizens to live longer independently in good health (increasing HLYs by 2 by 2020, QoL, Efficiency gains) MAIN AREAS: Addressing major age-prevalent chronic diseases Innovation in integrated care delivery systems Innovation in independent living and social inclusion APPROACH: Combining demand and supply sides of innovation Building on existing instruments and new ones where necessary Ownership of key stakeholder willing to invest High-level political commitment Very large-scale deployment Awareness and best-practice sharing across Europe
AHAIP – what? Objectives and headline target A triple win for Europe enabling EU citizens to lead healthy, active and independent lives while ageing improving the sustainability and efficiency of social and health care systems developing EU and global markets for innovative products and services, thus creating new opportunities for businesses Overarching goal by 2020 increasing the average healthy lifespan (HLYs) in the European Union by 2 years (considering gender and MSs variations) and improve quality of life
Operationally innovative – how? Building on coherent and integrated, stakeholder-led, citizen-centred and innovation–driven actions Pooling available resources and expertise and creating incentives to innovate and fostering initiatives across different policy areas by bringing together all actors in active and healthy ageing related areas, from both the public and private sector at EU, national and regional level and bring about synergies Closing the gap between research and market in the area of healthy and active ageing by speeding up the uptake of innovation Matching supply and demand side by triggering demand driven measures and mechanisms (e.g. pre-commercial/commercial public procurement) Scaling up and multiply successful innovation at EU level, through demonstration pilots, trials and deployment with the use of different instruments Leveraging innovation in investment through better use of EU funding, e.g. new financial instruments, structural funds, FP7, EIB, but involving all stakeholders in financial contributions
