Implement Photonics in Horizon 2020 through a PPP
■ The proposed Horizon 2020 legal text foresees a potential PPP for Photonics ■ ~1.6 B€ foreseen for both photonics and micro- and nano-electronics
Rationale ■Global market: In 2012, 350 B€; In 2020, 600 B€ -- Europe's share in 2012: 66 B€ (~18%) ■Major growth in lighting, biophotonics, laser-based manufacturing, optical communications ■Contribution to Societal challenges: health, energy & climate change, security, etc. ■In Europe: 5000+ companies (mostly SMEs), more than 300 000 employees ■A well-structured sector: Photonics21 ETP has > 2000 Members many national activities (national platforms + funding); 40+ Photonics innovation clusters
■ An R&D-intensive activity, requiring a long term horizon ■ Need for a critical mass of stakeholders and leadership at EU level No individual country has the required multi-disciplinary capability and can act at such level and scale of excellence
■ A well-coordinated approach: Photonics21 - National Technology Platforms – Regional Innovation Clusters ■ Support to innovative SMEs
– Clusters and SMEs – An EU-wide SoA Service infrastructure for SMEs
■ An ambitious Strategic R&I Roadmap for the next 7 years together with a value chain approach, incl. end-users ■ Access to risk finance (equity + debt)
■ Links to National Funding Programmes and to Regional Smart Specialisation Strategies
■Knowledge creation ■Competitiveness ■Growth & Jobs

As network operator What are your customer requirements? What are your requirements as network operator? When do you foresee your next network upgrade in the backbone network? Which technology are you looking for? WDM – software-defined optics (dynamic, flexible bitrate, etc) What is the product roadmap and does it fit your network roadmap? Has it the desired level of maturity, flexibility, etc.? What would you expect or desire in addition? In how many phases do you foresee to upgrade the network? Do you want to take some risk as early adopter of new technology?
Focus on commercialisation / deployment phase Help transnational procurer groups to reduce fragmentation of demand and reduce risk/cost of early adoption of innovative solutions Result in early deployment/first application of innovative ICTs. Commitment to deploy if market able to deliver innovative solutions within pre-set time with pre-set quality/price requirements Buyers group uses tactique of early announcement of the intention to deploy innovative solutions, to encourage the market to make changes in production process to meet better than available quality / price requirements for mass market deployment Not pre-commercial R&D phase Can include Innovative solutions already technically demonstrated (small scale) but owing to residual risk (price/quality not suitable yet for mass market deployment) not widely deployed yet Does not include procurement of R&D. Either no R&D needed or R&D already progressed up to products nearly/already on market in small quantity, but not scaled up yet to meet mass market requirements.

For more info: http://lowcarbon-healthcare.eu/ UK brand name for PPI = Forward Commitment Procurement (FCP) Low carbon healthcare PPI started 2006 Introducing more energy efficient LEDs in network of over 20 hospitals in 8 EU countries:
Total cost savings enable take-in +10% patients Swedish environmental/energy efficiency PPIs done by NUTEK/STEM agency:
Result: Reduced the SE dependency on nuclear energy with 15% through PPIs in combination with product certification/labeling, take-up subsidies & tax incentives
PPI called teknikupphandling in Sweden

Eligible participants Minimum 3 mutually independent public procurers from 3 different Member States or Associated Countries, OR one sole participant formed by several legal entities if these are minimum 3 public procurers from 3 different countries Entities that are not public procurers can also participate in action, if they are not potential suppliers of solutions sought for by the PPI (avoiding conflict of interest). E.g. private procurers with similar procurement needs, independent experts assisting procurers with PPI 1 public procurer acting as 'lead procurer' that coordinates the PPI procedure for the 'buyers group' in the consortium Funding Funding rate = 20% Funding is proportional contribution to the total investment made by participants in the action. This includes:
In proposal, consortium shall have already identified concrete specific challenge in innovation plans of procurers that requires innovation. Each project selected goes through a preparation stage and execution stage.
Preparation stage Open market consultation, announcing intention to buy critical mass of innovative solutions if market able to meet solution requirements by pre- set date (published as Prior Info Notice in OJEU).
Optional: testing/certification of solutions before buying, to check whether market really meets solution requirements.
Other relevant coordination / networking activities Outcome preparation stage: Agreed Common specifications Signed Joint Procurement Agreement
Confirmation of collaboration details to launch PPI tender Confirmation of availability of financial commitments to launch PPI tender
Execution stage Execution of 1 joint PPI call for tender based on above common specs + Implementation/follow-up of the contracts
1 joint call for tender published in OJEU 1 joint evaluation of offers - best value for money (not just lowest price) Possible to work with framework contracts with different lots Each procurer in buyers group issuing his own specific contracts for purchasing his own quantity of solutions under his own national legislation and individually paying the supplier(s) that deliver to him Solutions bought by all procurers having same core functionality (common specs used for framework contract), but local add-ons possible as defined in the lots for each procurer's purchase Signature of contracts + payment to suppliers
Deployment and operation of procured solutions for a duration that allows for evaluation & dissemination of results of the PPI Plus, possibly if well justified, additional activities
Deployment of commercial end-products Early adoption of new to the market products / services Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions (PPI) Procurer 1 buying e.g. €2 Mio solutions from supplier A
Example: €5 Mio PPI cofund grant
innovative solutions procured by all procurers in consortium = €22,5 Mio

Who is potentially interested? What can you get out of this project if you participate? Expected benefits in terms of cost and functionality of network gear and in terms of knowledge Not necessarily for green-field deployment! Check your network roadmap Check the possible timing of the project Can you make the necessary funds available? Is somebody taking the lead? Follow-up in next GA meetings? Follow-up in dedicated meetings/workshops Photonics21 and EC can facilitate further preparation
