A new chapter in EU history
 Lisbon Treaty and the new institutional setting
 New European Commission
 New ambitions and priorities (Barroso II ‘guidelines’)
 Enhancing economic prosperity and social cohesion
 Building on 50 years of achievements
 From Lisbon Agenda to EU2020
 Digital Agenda at the core of the new policy
framework (post i-2010)
 Future Internet as a key enabler underpinning
multiple EU policies

Future Internet: A Global Issue
Work on the Future Internet as part of the
Framework Programme is now ongoing for
several years.
Numerous initiatives have been launched at
Member State level.
Elsewhere in the world (US, Japan, China,
etc), ambitious R&D activities are on-going.
Various motivations: Future Internet
Economy – OECD Ministerial conference,
Research programmes…

Future Internet - EU Bold Steps
• Holistic technological approach with about 100 projects working in the
FI domain
• Architectures, socio economic drivers, technologies
• Clean slate and evolutionary perspectives
• Test-beds and infrastructure for experimental research
• Programmatic approach, federating effect on EU research community
• Future Internet Assembly, Future Internet Forum, consolidating the
domain over time
• Strong links with MS national initiatives needed
• International co-operation moving forward: US, Japan, possibly Brazil.
Very solid medium to long term research
foundations put in place in the FI area

Closing the gap: R&D & Innovation
 Going beyond an “R&D model only”
 Leveraging early results of running efforts
 Moving from a “technology push” to a “market/user”
pull
 Reinforcing the links with key EU policies
 Engaging bold industrial commitment
 Bringing users into the picture
 Involving more closely Member States
Meeting the above requirements is key to the
success of the Future Internet PPP

Communication Proposal in a Nutshell
An EU-wide internet innovation strategy: create a public-private
partnership (PPP) between public sectors and major ICT players!
•
•
•
•
The initiative of a PPP on the Future Internet, activated and proposed by
the industry, is supported by the European Commission with 300 million
Euros for 2011-2013 in addition to the 200 million Euros spent per year for
long term R&D.
The Commission will develop the work programme, the specific
evaluation and the modus operandi of the Future Internet PPP.
Under a call of the Commission, industries must define a PPP content by
mid-2010 to advance Europe's competitiveness in Future Internet
technologies and systems and to support the emergence of Future
Internet-enhanced applications of public and social relevance.
The Commission will review the possibility of setting a Joint Technology
Initiatives (JTIs) in the area of Future Internet.

Malta: the worlds first smart grid
Stockholm: the world first smart traffic system
Amsterdam: mobility and energy intelligent management
Malaga: energy intelligent connected grid
Nice: waste management through capillary nets;
Paris/Fing: “Villes 2.0” initiative
Venice: tourism
Luxembourg
….
Coming soon: Hamburg, Lisbon,…
Novel “smart” applications becoming major test cases for
key emerging internet technologies. US (Internet) industry
is already moving full speed into these promising fields.

Building a partnership
 Operators, service developers and equipment manufacturers
 Public stakeholders and utilities
 Industry core group deriving from the ETP’s “G16”
 Need to bring in research centres
 Engaging actors in sectors such as healthcare, mobility,
environment and energy management (Use cases)
 Public contribution is key (openness requirements, infrastructure
support…)
 Eventually engaging users in validation phases
9
EU Action on the PPP
 Develop the work programme and the specific evaluation and modus
operandi in cooperation with industrial stakeholders
 Using the mechanisms of the current Framework Programme
 Allocation of 300M€ under the upcoming ICT work programme covering the
period 2011-2013
 The Commission expects industry support to define a focused PPP content
by early-2010
 Member States primarily involved through the Future Internet Forum to help
refine policy/usage requirements
 Review of the legal and governance structures of JTIs: the Commission will
then examine the possibility of setting a JTI

Preparation of a restructured WP
From now to April, PPP preparatory actions:
- Workshops with research centres, “use cases” actors
- Information day (March, TBD date)

FI-PPP and Research Centres
Research Centres are expected to bring value to
the PPP, notably through:
 Their earlier work in use cases relevant to the FI-PPP (e.g.
mobility, health, energy…)  NO Start from scratch!
 Their position, bridging academic and industrial worlds, PPP
increasing impact opportunities to earlier research;
 Innovative approaches complementing those of industrial
actors
 Help in building constituencies and preparing for calls.
 Supporting info day with “position paper” (TBC)
