  1. Mechanisms & Support Measures than can be built within the structural funds to support innovation & clusters Corallia: an innovation catalyst in Greece Presented by: Prof. Vassilios Makios [v.makios@corallia.org] General Manager

  2. [Corallia] Mission

  3. Academia Research Actors Organizations For collaboration = Innovation Catalyst Infrastructure providers Industry Buyers Suppliers Financial Institutions Public Actors Professional Societies National Markets Suppliers of goods Ευρωπαϊκές Αρχές National Agencies Innovation Centers Technology parks Business Angels Regional Agencies Research Centers Chambers of Commerce NGOs Industrial Associations Formal Networks Startups SMEs Ventura Capital Universities Global Markets Large firms Consulting Services National IPR, Legal Support International Corallia Banks Media

  4. Structural Funds & Measures through the example of the mi-cluster

  5. [policy framework] • Economic exploitation of talent and new ideas • Not just industry and big firms with R&D but also services, competitive research and open innovation

  6. mi-Cluster: key characteristics

  7. mi-Cluster : expansion (2006 – 2008) • Reached critical mass in 2006 • mi-Cluster Members: • some figures [F/Y 2008]: [2006] 13 companies

  8. [policy design] • Absorption mechanism based on regional potential • Matching business demand with RTD supply • Introduction of Indicators to measure policy impact

  9. mi-cluster: today Patras Greece • >130 actors including industry (SMEs), academia, research, financial institutions, public actors, buyers & suppliers • Main geographical concentration in Athens (74), South Greece – Patras (27) & Northern Greece – Thessaloniki (10) Athens Thessaloniki

  10. Integrated circuits for Gbit Ethernet and wireless (GSM, 3G, WiFi, WiMax) comms Integrated transceivers of DECT wireless telephony Integrated video codersMPEG 4-10/AVC or H.264 NG Residential gateways: Ethernet Switch,ADSL2/2+, SoftPBX, USB2.0, WiFi a/b/g/e, SD Flash Card UWB, GPON, VDSL, HDTV Integrated flow and acceleration sensors Analog, Mixed-signal and RF integrated circuits Single-chip transceivers for wireless data: WiFi, WiMax Integrated PCMCIA systems for wireless laptop access On-Board cameras Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software tools “Innovation Made In Greece”products & technologies • mi-Cluster members have developed products, which are currently sold in the global market • Analog/MS/RF/Digital IP and ASIC design • Embedded software • System design • EDA tools

  11. mi-Cluster: the Big Picture indicators [through to 2015] • >100 industrial members with strong R&D based in Greece • >1 patent application per 10 researchers annually • >4,000 jobs for highly specialised engineers • Steady partnerships with private investors & VC’s Boost entrepreneurship, competition & employment • Industry – Industry & Industry – Academia Cooperative R&D projects • Events: Career Days | Professional orientation Forums | Roadshows, events and meetings in Europe & US aiming to attract young talented human capital from Greece [repatriation of scientists] • Industry – Academia cooperation for the design of specialised Curricula – targeted to meet the current needs of the market Cluster collaboration activities / promotion of state-of-the-art R&D • Critical mass and greater geographical concentration in the areas of clusters, capable to compete globally • Infrastructure development (similarly to the Microelectronics Innovation Center in Athens) to act as a facilitating hub for: • business relationships • common research activities • collaborations • among entrepreneurs and investors in selected areas that demonstrate adequate concentration Regional Spread

  12. [role of the policy maker-public sector] • Provision of leadership & vision • VCs, Business Angels & soft loans guarantee financial engineering may be better than grants – thus, be reinforced

  13. Vision

  14. Target

  15. mi-Cluster: investments • mi-Cluster companies backed by Private Investors or Multinational companies established abroad: • More than €30Μfrom private investors over the last 10 years • Over €80Μ investment of multinationals, directly for the development of design centers operating in Greece (Sitel, Nanoradio, Bytemobile) • Recent acquisition of Elxys Innovations by Ceragon, Blind Type by Google, Athena Semi by Broadcom
