Innovation and the future of 'Made in Europe'

Innovation in Europe faces a new challenge: it needs foster the emergence and development of new, competitive industries with sustainable roots at home.

Relocation in recent decades has often led to separating the R&D and manufacturing capability of companies for reasons of cost, but in the medium term this rift has jeopardized their ability to innovate.
How then are we to retain the capacity to innovate and produce the advanced technology essential to sustaining our companies’ competitive edge and keeping our regions attractive?

Part of the answer is certainly to be found in durably locating new manufacturing capacity on home ground, boosting our ability to ‘Generate and Produce Locally’.
At the Grenoble Innovation Fair in October round-table discussions on the electronics and energy industries will help to gain a better understanding of the industrial stakes for emerging technologies such as LEDs, organic electronics, photovoltaics and energy efficiency.

Players operating in these industrial sectors – materials manufacturers, own-equipment manufacturers, producers and system builders, distributors – will be putting their heads together to discuss the future for innovative products ‘Made in Europe’.

Roundtable #1 : Energy efficiency and the future of « Made in Europe »

Chaired by Olivier CATEURA, Head of Departement - Technology & Strategic Management at Grenoble Ecole de Management.

Thursday 20 october, 4:45 - 5:30 pm

Innovation in the energy sector is a major issue for Europe. In the face of climate change, rising energy costs and deregulation of the industry, firms are under pressure to innovate and produce new offerings for the 21st century. Energy efficiency will be the new frontier in our business.

Is Europe ready for this challenge? The KIC InnoEnergy alliance launched by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology could be one of the answers, but are other options and solutions available? Will energy efficiency bring new jobs to Europe, and if so how is this to be done?
Who will be the leaders of this revolution? How will the new technologies be integrated and which ones will succeed?

Roundtable #2: Emerging markets in Electronics

Chaired by Anne-Marie Dutron, General Director of SEMI Europe - Grenoble Office

Friday 21 october, 10:45 - 11:30 am

For many years Europe invented new technologies and products related to electronics. However Europe has lost whole electronics markets, mainly to Asia because of vertical disintegration of well established integrated device manufacturers. This was due to various factors, in particular delocalized financial strategies and a lack of focus on high-volume manufacturing.

Europe knows very well that it still needs electronics manufacturing capability to create value and jobs.

  • How can Europe go on leading innovation if it relocates the production of emerging electronics?
  • Can innovation in manufacturing secure competitive costs?
  • What are Europe’s strengths and weaknesses?
  • How well placed is Europe for emerging semiconductor technologies and derivative?
  • How are we to rebuild a complete, robust supply chain for optics, batteries, flat-panel displays, semiconductors, photovoltaics, MEMS and LEDs, among others?
  • Is it a question of public policy, economic power or collective awareness?
