Implementing cooperation on Future
Internet and ICT Components between
Europe and Latin America
The concept of Technology Platform was first introduced in the Commission Communication “Industrial Policy in an enlarged Europe” in December 2002. They were proposed as a way to bring together technological know-how and stakeholders with the aim of producing a long-term strategic plan for research and development of specific technologies with a significant economic and societal impact.
The primary objective of the European Technology Platforms (ETPs) is to “define a coherent and unified approach to tackle major economic, technological or societal challenges of vital importance for Europe’s future competitiveness and economic growth”1. In particular, the ETPs provide a framework to define research and development priorities and action plans for each technology domain concerned.
As such, the ETPs are designed to provide a strategic vision and research agenda for leading technologies at European level and therefore contribute significantly to the realization of the objectives of the ERA. In this framework, the involvement of public authorities as well as all other relevant stakeholders is vital for the fulfilment of the mission of ETPs.
There are currently 36 ETPs, covering the most important technological areas. They connect thousands of European companies, knowledge institutes and policy makers and have facilitated the development of a common vision and research agenda for each of the 36 technology fields they represent.
The ETP research agendas have helped the European Commission to take industry’s needs into account when shaping the Framework Programme.
The five Joint Technological Initiatives originated directly from ETPs, and ETPs are the European Commission’s main partner in developing the three public-private partnerships launched under the European Economic Recovery Plan: the Factory of the Future, Energy-Efficient Buildings and the Green Cars.
ETPs have also become important interlocutors for the European Commission in other policy areas: they contributed to the design of the Lead Market Initiative, participate actively in the Strategic Energy Technology Plan, and are closely involved in the preparation of the new Innovation Plan for Europe.
