By 2010 Europe should “… become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion.”

- Lisbon Council of Ministers, March 2000

The Lisbon goal

RZ_to_LT-INFOBALT_18Jan2007 - 4

• Markets & Competition: Europe – A more attractive place to invest & work

– The internal market – Improve regulation– Competitive markets– Expand & improve infrastructure

• Knowledge & innovation for growth– Increase R&D investment– Facilitate innovation & uptake of ICT & the sustainable use of

resources– Contribute to a strong industrial base

• Employment & Skills: Creating more & better jobs– Employment & social protection systems– Flexibility of labour markets– Human capital: Better education & skills

The renewed Lisbon strategy

How can Europe achieve its Lisbon goals ?

1.By building on its strengths

2.Public & private sectors investing in knowledge

3.By drawing efforts together

−Creating synergies across Europe

−Avoiding fragmentation & duplication of effort

Research policy

• Raise R&D investment (3% objective)• Create a single “market” for research

(ERA) and innovation– An area of free movement of knowledge,

researchers & technology

• R&D excellence • Improve human capital & skills base• Build effective research infrastructures• Aligning Framework Programme (FP) &

national R&D programmes

RZ_to_LT-INFOBALT_18Jan2007 - 7

Is Europe investing enough ?

• Europe – a net importer of electronics

• Aggressive global competition: Asia 2/3 of world semiconductor market & 3/4 share in investment

• A typical semiconductor fabrication facility costs € 2.5 billion
