  4. More and better innovation is urgently needed in Europe • Energy, demography, environment:  crises offer new opportunities, but others seem to act faster (ex. China) • Communities / Commons: •  creation and preservation of commons of product design and manufacturing Source: European innovation scoreboard 2008  EIT’s mission: „To be the catalyst for a step change in the EU’s innovation capacity and impact.” European Economic Congress 2010, Katowice, June 1st 2010

  5. Push factors for action in innovation European Economic Congress 2010, Katowice, June 1st 2010

  6. Arguably it takes a Revolution ! But what sort of Revolution ? Technical ? Political ? Social ? Moral ? Push factors for action in innovation BaU 50 40 30 Gt CO2 / year 20 The very best we can do within a free-market economy The maximum the world can tolerate without destroying our habitat 10 0 2080 2100 2000 2020 2040 2060 European Economic Congress 2010, Katowice, June 1st 2010 with G-J Kramer, 2009

  7. Innovation requires an integrated knowledge triangle • Innovation can start at any place in the knowledge triangle: • Education, Research+Technology, Business+Entrepreneurship • Actors in the knowledge triangle are at the core of the innovation web. enhanced capacities + high degree of integration + leadership are prerequisites for scaling up Europe’s innovation performance European Economic Congress 2010, Katowice, June 1st 2010

  8. KICs – putting the knowledge triangle to the test • KICs = collaborative partnerships, legally and financially structured entity of internationally distributed but thematically convergent partners • KIC partners = key actors from the knowledge triangle: research, education, and innovation-entrepreneurship-business • KIC co-location = people from diverse backgrounds (industry, SMEs, academia, nationality, gender, discipline…) working together across the innovation web  KICs build innovative webs of excellence across the knowledge triangle European Economic Congress 2010, Katowice, June 1st 2010

  9. Contents • KIC: putting the Knowledge Triangle to the test. • Impact – whatittakes, EIT and KICs. • KICs – InnoEnergy, sustainableenergy: webs of innovation • Education: creating a new generation of entrepreneurs. • The very first results… European Economic Congress 2010, Katowice, June 1st 2010

  10. EIT – essential challengesfor impact EC • a simple 1 – to – 1 Agreement: • co-creation of value-adding annual work plans (between investor (EIT) and entrepreneur (KIC)) • flexible accession of (and business outreach to) new activity partners • simplified cost reporting • move from mechanistic activity reporting to dynamic performance monitoring • live monitoring -> dynamic scoreboard • eventually integration of cost, activity and performance reporting EC KICs • can do, focus, simplicity, speed, results. European Economic Congress 2010, Katowice, June 1st 2010

  11. KICs – essential challengesfor impact • CEO type leadershipleading to drive and focus • A monitored business plan around deliverables with targeted investment returns and drivers identified upfront leading to relentless focus on results/deliverables/output • Drive the KIC through entrepreneurship • A ‘can do’ attitude, stipulating empowerment and enabling people to develop new business opportunities • Keep it simple, be pragmatic, take controlled risk European Economic Congress 2010, Katowice, June 1st 2010

  12. EIT - KIC impact • EU2020: creating value by basing growth on knowledge and • empowering (skills development, labour mobility) people in inclusive societies • Contribute to ongoing developments in higher education and acting as a catalyst for improvements in curricula and learning and teaching methods • Entrepreneurship education delivering top entrepreneurial people • Working in co-location centres encompassing the larger part of the innovation web with face-to-face contact, thus leading to greatmobility of knowledge European Economic Congress 2010, Katowice, June 1st 2010

  19. EIT labelled degrees (Master, PhD) • Build on the experience gained in the context of other EU actions and in line with the main achievements of the European Higher Education Area (Bologna Process) • Go beyond these achievements and enable EIT graduates to turn knowledge into marketable products and services, “from knowledge to business – from learning what to learning by doing”. • 4 broad characteristics for EIT label quality criteria: entrepreneurship education, integrated/innovative curricula, mobility-European dimension, openess to the world and outreach strategy.
