  3. Common Challenges & Opportunities • Financial crisis • Economy crisis • Globalisation • Climate change • Ageing population • Health • Safety & Security • ........... INNOVATION!

  4. The new Research and Innovation bill • The R&D funding will increase by 450 million € during the period 2009-2012. • Increased appropriations for universities: 140 million € • Strategic research areas: 165 million € • Research founding agencies: 60 million • Research infrastructure: 15 million • Industrial research institutes: 20 million • Innovation package: 15 million • Abolition of higher education VAT: 30 million • European Spallation Source (ESS): 15 million • In addition, 270 million € will be invested in a research institute to serve the transport sector

  5. Excellent research is not enough for innovation! A good innovation policy is based on active participationfrom the entire innovation system

  6. Several Nordic countries areleading innovators… Source: Merit & EC (DG Enterprise) 2005

  7. Innovation: See new possibilites and turn them into value propositions delivering customer values Innovation Input factors to innovation R&D Regulation Openess Trust Societal changes ...... Weather! Climate ... Taxes Co-operation Value chains Organisation Structures Adminstrative protocols Leadership And many many more!

  8. Swedish Innovation System – general characteristics • The economy strongly internationally linked • The big international companies dominate the R&D-system • Small sector of Research-institutes • Universities dominate the public R&D-system and are charged with “a third task”, to cooperate with industry and society at large • Creation of university spin-offs is active but other SMEs invest too little in R&D • ………

  9. - The - of VINNOVA?

  12. VINNOVA actively works with: • Financing of needs-driven research • Centres of Excellence of Research and Innovation • Commercialisation • Research and Innovation in SME’s  • International cooperation • EU´s framework program • Research institutes

  13. Focus areas of VINNOVA Security & Safety Environment Radical technology and innovation ICT- Nano – Material - Bio Health Services Transport Manufacturing Organisational innovation

  14. Security & Safety Environment Radical technology and innovation ICT- Nano – Material - Bio Health Services Transport Manufacturing Organisational innovation • Supporting industrial renewal

  15. Green Nano2008-2010– Nanotech development in the green sector Purpose of the program: • Facilitate commercialization of nanotechnology • Addressing a key societal concern – reduce negative environmental impact • Increase society-industry-academia interaction and involvement in nanotechnology • Legitimate nanotechnology by making the opportunities of nanotech concrete and visible Outline of the program: • Late phase nanotechnology innovations • Project teams with academic and industrial actors • 4 millions € in public funding during 3 years • Five projects so far funded with focus on solar cells, LEDs, nano composites & nano fibres from renewable sources and nano materials used in fuel cells

  16. Climatechange Options for reduced CO2-emissions John Holmberg, Chalmers

  17. Transport Systems 2009 - 2012- Creating a sustainable and efficient transport system for economic growth and new markets Sustainable and efficient transport systems requires: • Technological development • Behavioral changes in travelling and planning of logistic patterns • Sound politically induced policies and economic measures of control supporting safe and sustainable solutions. • VINNOVA is active in supporting Swedish participation in the 7th Framework Program and ERANET Transport. • Sweden has the third lowest logistic costs in the world. The Competence Centre CTS has contributed to position Sweden as an important actor within the area of transport policy. The challenges within the transport area are huge and new markets for sustainable transport solutions will evolve.
