  1. Experience at Member States Level with Strategic Research Agendas (includ. PPPs) Spain Carlos Alejaldre Director General Technology Policy, Ministry Education and Science, Spain 11 November 2005

  2. Outline • Main challenges of the Spanish economy & the Science – Technology – Business System • Inmediate response - on going PPPs actions. • Medium term response: INGENIO 2010 Program. • Description • Objectives • Conclusions

  3. ESPAÑA (UE SPAIN (EU - - 15 = 100) 15 = 100) Renta per GDP per Productivity Productividad Employment rate Tasa de Demographic component Factor cápita capita del trabajo empleo demográfico 80,9 80,9 95,8 95,8 82,7 82,7 102,1 102,1 1995 1995 85,9 85,9 90,5 90,5 91,6 91,6 103,6 103,6 2004 2004 Diferencia Variation +5,0 +5,0 - - 5,3 5,3 +8,9 +8,9 +1,5 +1,5 Challenges of the Spanish economy • Real convergence in employment rate, but… still far from the Lisbon objectives • Divergence in productivity • Still significant gap in Technological indicators • Competitiveness lose and inflation gap

  4. Catching up process in R&D and Innovation indicators but at low rate Bigger gap in GERD (52% aver.EU) than in GDP (85%). Still Insufficient share of GERD financed & performed by the business sector. Low BERD in relation to industrial added value. Business participation in national programmes dominated by SMEs. The Spanish Science-Technology-Business System

  5. The Spanish S-T-B System • Insufficient Human Resources in R&D (84% aver. EU), mostly in Business sector (27% vs 49%) • High increase in the scientific production of Spanish researches with moderate impact (SCI). • Very low patent level. Few EPO and triad patents obtained by Spanish residents.

  6. Running actions for PPPs Role of the Directorate-General for Technology Policy (DGPT): linking across RTD agents Public Research Centers Universities Science-Technology-Business System Enterprises Scientific Parks Tecnology Centers Scientific and technological infrastructures Generation of knowledge Scientific Publications Generation of technology Patents

  7. Boosting Investment In 2005, the public budget allocations for civil R&D&I grew 27%. In the budget proposal for 2006 an increase of 31% has been approved. Government´s commitment to maintain a minimum annual increase of 25% until 2008. More balanced increase between financial (credits & loans) and non financial (subsidies) public spending More ambitious goals R&D Intensity of 1,4% in 2006. BERD share of 59% in GERD. Total researchers (FTE) per thousand of labour force: 5,4 (5,9 in EU) 100 NTBF per year from the public sector in 2007 (3 times the 2003 figure). 600 new researches positions in the private sector (2 times the 2003 figure) Information Society Convergence Plan: 7% of GDP devoted to IT in 2009 (from 4,8% in 2004) OBJECTIVES R&D

  29. Improved management and evaluation INGENIO 2010: BETTER EVALUATION OF RESEARCH AND INNOVATION POLICIES • The Government has put in place a new mechanism for the following-up and evaluation of the instruments and programs in the National RTD and Innovation Plan: the Sistema Integral de Seguimiento y Evaluación (SISE). • Until now the expost evaluation of the results of the RTD and innovation programs was scarce and not systematically applied. • Continuous evaluation is essential for revising and correcting the actions in place and for identifying the need for new actions. Revision of Programmes approved by CICYT Assessment of programs by expert groups Annual report with recommendations

  30. INGENIO 2010: Objectives Reaching 55% of private contribution to RTD expenditure in 2010 (interrupting the negative trend of recent years) % Private contribution to RTD new objectives Previous trend The Lisbon Strategy establishes the objective for 2010 of two thirds of EU RTD funding coming from private sources

  33. INGENIO 2010: Objectives Increase the number of spin-offs emerging from public RTD centers up to a minimum rate of 130 new companies per year by 2010 Growth rate of new Spin-offs created from initiatives of the public RTD sector Number of companies Previous trend

  34. INGENIO 2010: Objectives Plan AVANZ@: reaching by 2010 the average EU expenditure/GDP in CIT (raising from 4.8% in 2004 to 7% in 2010) Impact of the convergence plan to UE15 in terms of investment in CIT % CIT investment / GDP Previous trend Anticipating nearly 20 years in relation to the previous trend

  35. INGENIO 2010 PROGRAM INGENIO 2010 implies an improved policy management and a stronger focus of the additonal resources in strategic actions aiming at more challenging objectives Allow us to reach more ambitious objectives 3. Improved management and evaluation 2. Focussed in three strategic lines: CENIT CONSOLIDER ANVAZ@ % RTD expenditure / GDP 1. More resources Previous trend Previous trend

  36. Increase resources Improve the productivity of the Spanish economy More & Better R&D+I • Lisbon • Agenda • 3% of GDP • 2/3 from • the private • sector Corporate R&D+I Critical Mass Excellence in R&D Conclusions Higher R&D&I investment, better focused and managed, seeking to improve the overall productivity of the Spanish economy
