Why an EUREKA- Chile-Partnership? Objectives: • Developing innovative market-oriented R&D projects together with like-minded European partners for mutual benefit (win-win) with national funding • Getting access to markets • Strengthening both Chilean and European economies Possibilities: • Participation in projects (Clusters, Umbrellas, Network projects) with high flexibility, fast-to-market, nationally funded • Partnership Agreement (Association), enabling industry to lead projects

Global International Cooperation Instruments Association Project-by-project participation GlobalStars

Associated countries Canada (since 2012) More than 32 projects South Africa (since June 2014) 7 projects South Korea (since 2009) More than 52 projects Chile (in preparation for 2017)

Some advantages of the status as an Associated Country More systematic generation of projects of mutual benefit, possibly with the help of an ear-marked national budget; Part of the network of national funding agencies, possibility of coordination; Participation in all EUREKA activities, events, projects (1 EU+1AS country, lead of projects) and the possibility to join EUROSTARS ; The National Project Coordinator (NPC) supports companies, in particular SMEs, to find finance and adequate partners;

Korean Project partnerships by country 2012-2014

Canada’s project partners 2012 - 2014

Global Stars Targeted call between interested EUREKA countries and a partner country in specific areas, all projects nationally funded, 2+1 rule Chile: natural resources, mining, agrofood, solar energy, sustainable construction, ICT, (1+1 rule as exeption), call published 1 September Argentina: in preparation for end 2016 India: planned

Participation in EUREKA projects by non-EUREKA countries since 1985 Without Clusters

Added value of EUREKA for project participants: Well established, long-standing transnational network Bottom-up, market-oriented, fast, minimum of bureaucracy Access to new markets National contact points National financing Clusters are managed according to business priorities and in a business-like manner One application for the whole consortium A central data base for the whole network A central secretariat to support the network

Impacts of EUREKA projects for Danish participating businesses (statistically significant rates) Increase of exports: + 13% (3 years after participation) Increase of turn-over: x 2 Increase of employment: + 4 – 5% (from year 1 after participation) Increase in labour productivity: 11 – 12% growth rate annually Results taken from a study “Economic Impact of international R&I cooperation in EUREKA“ of the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation (2011)

Success Stories PASTEUR project Nanoelectronics to help reduce food waste worldwide Between 30% and 50% of food is thrown out, most of the time before it reaches the consumer, but the cost (economic and environmental) of such waste is largely avoidable. Application and technology research on micro- and nano-electronics

Success Stories RECONSURVE Reconfigurable Surveillance System with Communicating Smart Sensors The project developed a complete maritime surveillance system with smart sensor data processing, situational awareness, the ability to use several platforms with a variety of sensor types and advanced algorithm-based capabilities for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and thermal cameras. Start date: Jan 2011 End date: Jun 2015

Success Stories Eurostars projects : A Revolutionary Contact Lens Offers patient greater visibility and comfort Company market dimension x12 (4.5 B€) A Breakthrough Video Restoration Software Offers the rapid restoration of video-archives Company has grown tenfold in 6 years A new leather-tanning agent Bespoke supply chain to deliver a ‘Made in Europe’ product in a sustainable way Customers include the World’s largest car manufacturers
