European Photonics industry makes its pledge to bridge the valley of death
The European photonics industry is ready to deliver on its commitment of an overall investment of 7 Billion Euros in a Photonics Public Private Partnership (PPP) by 2020 and make an impact on creating new jobs and recovering from the economic crisis.
Neelie Kroes, European Commission Vice President announced her active support towards creating a photonics Public Private Partnership (PPP) within the Horizon 2020 framework together with Photonics21, the platform of the European photonics industry in the frame of the Photonics21 Annual Meeting, which was held in Brussels on March 28, 2012.
“Europe needs to face up to the challenges of a rapidly globalising economy. The photonics sector can unleash massive economic potential and help deliver the Digital Agenda for Europe. EU policies that support research, demonstration, and application are crucial for spurring Europe’s competitiveness. A Public Private Partnership in Photonics, based on a serious commitment from industry, will help to unlock Europe’s innovation potential and bring to market products that will shape our future world and our future economy” said Neelie Kroes.
In a high-ranking panel discussion with representatives from the EU Commission and the European Parliament, MEP Malcolm Harbour expresses his full support for a Photonics PPP: “Photonics are recognised as a critical strategic technology for a modern and technologically advanced Europe. The proposed 7 Billion Euro partnership between Photonics21 and the European Commission would have a substantial impact on future growth and job creation, and significantly assist the EU’s continued economic recovery. It will be a major boost for the Innovation Union".
Martin Goetzeler, President of Photonics21, highlights that “Photonics21 welcomes the ambitious Horizon 2020 proposal by the European Commission with its approach for a real innovation focused funding with positive impact on jobs and competitiveness and where public private partnerships (PPPs) would generate a long term budget security for the projects partners .”
