  7. How to increase SME participation? Negotiation- No cuts to SME partner budget - Reserve budget for later stage SME integration New workprogram - Topics with SME relevance - Specific SME IPs or STREPs (input from all stakeholders: PC, advisory group, industry associations, SMEs) - Additional calls to top-up IP/NoE budgets for SME integration Evaluation - Increase participation of SME/industry evaluators through remote evaluation?

  8. How to increase SME participation? Awareness raising among SMEs - Focussed events/dissemination activities and/or specific support actions targeted at food research SMEs Support actions to help SMEs participate in the FP6 - SSAs in TP5 - SSAs in the new ETI call but: WHO ARE THE FOOD RESEARCH SMEs?

  13. FP5 food research SMEs • Large portion of SMEs are private-non-profit organisations (research spin-offs; food research agencies, etc.) - their role seems to be comparable to that of academic partners • Small private commercial SMEs play various roles as technology providers or users (Their EU contribution is on average smaller than for academic partner!) • About 2/3 of PRC SMEs are high-technology companies (genomics/biotech/engineering/other technologies) and a smaller number are “classical” food SMEs • FOOD SME sector is very diverse!!!

  14. How to increase SME participation? • Projects need to focus on (later stage) integration of specific SMEs that are potential users of project results (early dissemination!) • Specific calls (STREPS) for high-tech SMEs that can provide new technologies for the food sector (traceability and detection technologies; food processing) ? • More focussed activities and specific support actions targeted at specific food research SMEs

  15. How to increase SME participation? • TP5-SSAs: • Integration of European Food Safety Research from Producers to Consumers • Technology brokerage events • Tech transfer & partnering conference targeted at SMEs • Technology dissemination towards SMEs in olive oil sector • ETI-SSAs: • Improve participation of SMEs in new instruments in the Food Quality and Safety sector. • Enhance FP6 participation of incubated biotechs SMEs • Facilitating Innovation for Sustainable Fisheries and Marine Resources
