Looking forward to the future

• Consensus-based process
• High Level Group representing all stakeholders
  people with strong standing, influence and
  commitment to make things happen

IF

• The mission propose a strategy based on Research
  and Innovation
• Speeding up industrial transformation
• Securing high added value employment
• Securing a major share of world manufacturing
  output

• Main Objectives
• Develop a long term RTD vision for manufacturing
  for Europe
• 2) Consider priorities for effective and
  increased investment in research and knowledge
  generation activities
• 3) Setting-up a strategic agenda to maintain
  European leadership in manufacturing.

HLG Working Document

• PART A MANUFACTURING AS THE KEY ISSUE
• Manufacturing today Definition of the
  challenges
• Long term goals and actions
• The goals
• The Drivers for Change
• The Actions
• PART B THE ROAD TO MANUFUTURE
• Overall approach to manufacturing
• 1. Field of intervention Invest in RD and
  supporting infrastructures
• 2. Field of intervention Nurture a
  knowledge-based innovation environment
• 3. Field of intervention New focus for
  Education Training
• 4. Field of Intervention Improve RTD
  collaboration and coordination
• 5. Field of Intervention Increase the
  Competitiveness of European research stimulate
  industrys investment in research
• PART C TOWARDS A EUROPEAN STRATEGY
• European Member States coordination strategy

Main findings thus far

• Jobs moving from industry to the service sector
  is a general trend. The service content of
  products is increasing.
• BUT
• Economy based on service industries alone can not
  survive in the longer term.
• No statistical evidence of absolute
  deindustrialisation.
• BUT
• A number of sectors are suffering.
• AND
• The productivity gap between Europe and the US is
  widening.
• AND
• Europe is also lagging in innovation performance.
• AND
• New competitors (e.g. China and India) increase
  pressure to relocate production to other parts of
  the globe.

10
Main recommendations thus far

• GREAT POTENTIAL BUT TRANSFORMATION IS A MUST !
• FROM resource-intensive
• TO knowledge-intensive, innovative sector with
  a higher technological content

11
Main recommendations continued

• Innovating production !

12
Main recommendations continued

• A new value chain must be nurtured !

13
Main recommendations continued

• Manufacturing engineering strategy
  simultaneously address all interrelated aspects !

14
Main recommendations continued

• Drivers for INNOVATION to flourish in
  manufacturing
• RD
• Framework Conditions
• Infrastructure
• Education
