Roadmap for the Me2-sector Why?

• Increase the attention for Technology and
  Innovation-strategies
• Leads to common sector actions and networking
  (common challenges)
• Creating a basic framework for our member
  companies (Me2) to work out their
  innovation-strategy
• Trigger for future RD activities

15
Our roadmap approach

• Attention for sector specific trends (Me2)
• Combination of Market- and Technology driven
  Roadmaps
• Work out
• 4 Workshops (Industry Experts Agoria)
  covering 3 layers MARKET, PROCESS/PRODUCT,
  ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES
• Final session consolidation

Why networking in Me2-sector?

• World-market gt top-products gt top-competencie
• Total-solutions / additional services
• Cyclicity gt capacity exchange
• Lack of innovation and innovation strategy in
  Me2-companies
