  2. NWO and Top sectors • NWO-thematic policy Top sectors • Both PPP and fundamental research • Collaboration with top teams • Financial resources: 2012/13: M€ 225, 2015: M€ 275 • 9 top sectors, incl. cross-cutting themes: BBE  top sector Chemistry 2012/13: M€ 27 PPS, M€ 10 non-PPS (actually more)

  3. Top sector Chemistry Ambitions • 2050: NL worlds’ no.1 in green chemistry • 2050: NL in top-3 production of smart materials • High quality, groundbreaking research to open up new areas of science & innovation and to nourish existing areas Society & Market-driven – PPP • TKI Smart PolymericMaterials (SPM) • TKI Process Technology (ISPT) • TKI BioBasedEconomy (BBE) • TKI New Chemical Innovations (NCI) • International Agenda • Human Capital Agenda • Investment NWO, TNO, industry, ‘TKI-toeslag’ government

  4. Top sector Chemistry Exploring new fields • Clustering of existing, large PPP’s in three TKI’s (SPM, BBE & ISPT) • Innovation contract: Natural link betweenfundamentalscientific research <-> existing and futurePPP’s • Small, to-the-point programmes: Tailor-made solutions • High-qualityscientific research on topics relevant toindustry TKI New Chemical Innovationsfocuses on new developments in existing PPP’s and on new fields in chemistry

  5. TKI’s in Top sector Chemistry TKI SPM Scientific questions development & valorisation curiosity driven science Sector plan TKI

  6. TKI NCI • Foundation TKI NCI (sep 2012) • Goals: • Reinforcement of society-driven research & innovation • StimulatingPPP’sfocused on new scientificchallenges • Board: • Bert Weckhuysen (UU, Topteam) • Marcel Wubbolts (DSM) • Bert-Jan Lommerts (Latexfalt, Topteam) • ProgrammeCommittee (chair Han de Winde) • Peer review based quality check • Advisory Board to safeguard coherence with all TKI’s • Topics: various, open character e.g. materials, process technology, biobased economy, material scarcity, safety, catalysis, analytical science, molecular life sciences, etc…………….

  7. NWO Fund NCI • Continuous access, from 1 November, 2012 • www.nwo.nl/fonds-nci • Total budget: • M€ 16 NWO • ~ M€ 10 industry • Portfolio of projects and programmesthat: • have potentialtodevelopintolarger partnerships • have potentialtogeneratescientificbreakthroughs • have high strategicrelevance • Industrial partners contributein cash ~ M€ 26 for new programs, projects and program management

  8. NWO Fund NCI Three modes of action • CHIPP: CHemical Industrial Partnership Programmes (+ FOM IPP, STW Partnership) • TA: Technology Area’s • KIEM: Knowledge InnovationMapping (SME)

  9. NWO Fund NCI CHIPP 1 company + ≥ 2 knowledgeinstitutes • NWO-budget 2012/13: ~M€ 7 • National or international collaboration • With or without Open Call • Eachindustrial partner euro is matchedbyoneNWO euro • Cash project costs: 50% company - 50% NWO

  10. NWO Fund NCI

  11. NWO Fund NCI Technology Area’s ≥ 2 companies + ≥ 2 knowledgeinstitutes • NWO-budget 2012/13: ~M€ 8 • Analogousto TASC-programma ACTS • Focused on consortium formation, e.g. COAST • With or without Open Call • Eachindustrialconsortium euro is matchedbytwoNWO euro’s • Cashproject costs: 33% company - 67% NWO

  12. NWO Fund NCI (othervariants in mind? Please contact TKI NCI office)

  13. NWO Fund NCI KIEM 1 SME/start-up + 1 universityor1 SME/start-up + 1 university and 1 HBO • NWO-budget 2012/13: ~M€ 1 • Focused on specificproblem, improvement of product, process or service, knowledge transport • Each SME partner euro is matchedbyfourNWO euro’s • Cashproject costs: 20% company - 80% NWO

  15. BBE @ NWO Program “Less is more” • Topic: Sustainableand safe production in agricultureandhorticulture • NWO divisions: Earth and Life Sciences, Chemical Sciences, FOM • Budget: M€ 2 Themes • Yield from agricultural and horticultural products • Resilience of the production system • Optimal utilisation of raw materials for food and non-food products • Sustainable protein production Status • 48 proposals -> decisions on grantingexpectedJuly 2013

  16. BBE @ NWO Program “TA Biomass” • Topic: Eco-efficient Use of Biomass for Bulk and Fine Chemicals • NWO division: Chemical Sciences • Budget: M€ 3 • Collaboration: PPP (€: 67% government / 33% industry) • EnablingconditionsforSME’s (cancontributelargelyin kind) Themes • Making biomass based biocatalytic, chemocatalytic and thermochemical processes compatible • Produce existing chemical intermediates in an eco-efficient way from biomass • Develop process for the conversion of recalcitrant biomass fractions Status • 5 projects granted

  17. BBE @ NWO Program in cooperation with Brazil • Aim: Collaboration in biobased economy NL-Brazil • NWO divisions: Chemical Sciences, Earth and Life Sciences • Budget: M€ 2 Themes • Crop improvement: more and better agricultural, horticultural and aquaculture products • Sustainable agriculture: resilience of the production system; • Biorefinery • Chemocatalytical, biocatalytical and thermochemical conversion of biomass to fuels and chemicals. Status • 19 proposals -> decisions on grantingexpectedNovember 2013

  18. BBE @ NWO Partnership program withPaques • Topic: A Novel Platform Technology for the Conversion of Waste Biomass to Renewable Bioproducts • NWO divisions: STW, Chemical Sciences • Budget: M€ 3 • Collaboration: PPP (€: 50% government / 50% Paques) Focus • Develop an in-depth understanding of the fermentation of organic material to VFA (volatile fatty acids) under non-sterile conditions • Develop efficient methods to recover VFA from fermentation broths • Develop novel processes for the efficient conversion of VFA to renewable biobasedproducts Status • 5 projectsgranted

  19. BBE @ NWO Pipeline • For 2012/2013 up till now NWO invested ~M€ 10 in BBE under the top sector policy. • Investments in BBE willfurtherincrease, since: • Numbers on curiositydriven research (talent schemesand response-mode research) willappearby the end of 2013. • The Fund New Chemical Innovations is still open. Next ‘deadline’ forsubmittingprojects: 24 September 2013

  20. Why join TKI NCI?  company perspective • Involved in tomorrow’s science • Getting to know tomorrow’s scientists • Sharing investments in knowledge creation • Generating TKI-toeslag in relevant area’s

  21. Why join TKI NCI?  institute perspective • Connecting your own research with today‘s (and tomorrow’s) industrial and societal interests • Getting to know today’s and tomorrow’s entrepreneurs • Alternative funds for your research ideas • Valorisation potential
