Involving private sector/SMEs in research cooperation Christian Lister Montenegro November 11 th 2010

Attraction Q - How to attract SMEs into research and how to cooperate with FP7 and other instruments? A – Let them know you exist.

The Gateway 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7). It has a budget of €50.5 billion for the period from , with €1.3 billion reserved exclusively for small businesses.

European Commission At the launch of FP7 the EC did everything right –  Simplification of procedures  Succinct reporting in official journal  Improved presentation  Clear policy approach

Visibility Presence Approachability Perception

We asked 100 UK SMEs Q - Have you ever heard of FP7? A – only 9 respondents said yes 8 of the 9 believed it was ‘something to do with academia’

Information Proactive dissemination ?

How effective is effective communication? FP7UK team can provide telephone support, send you information, direct you to a large number of web-based information sources and advise you of calls, events, news and best practice.

Signposting and Social Media

The # < hashtag

I have….. …..finally found the information AND I want to engage……..

The Gatekeeper

Words can be barriers First of all you need a convincing idea and a good team; assess your technology to identify your potential, needs and funding opportunities; find you partners; increase your proposal-writing and project management skills; help you to reach cooperation agreements.

– why did the UK or Greece not do it ? we are looking at the use of Stevia by SMEs. Stevia is a sugar substitute but some 300 times sweeter and has no calories. At the instigation of my Greek colleague and through Genesis we have identified a research organisation in UK to complement the Greek University. Coordination is being done by our German colleagues who have experience in applying for FP7 monies.

Why should SMEs invest in research?

What’s in it for me? Certain industries have synergy:- Travel, Tourism, Car Rental, Hotels Other sectors can be less collaborative:- Fast paced technology, medicine, science Global rights = Global sales

We have to combat the FEAR The Single Market & Global Harmonisation We must educate at national level to stop insular trade and promote cross border trade. We must change the perception and protectionism.

Why should SMEs invest in research?  Growth/Market Share  Next Generation  Consumers and Services  Product Portfolio  Competitive Markets  Reduced Commercial Risk
