Electronic Systems Technologies ... Are Key Enabling Technologies

3

They are already fundamental to society and the solutions to society’s challenges

We are dependent on them today; and will become even more so in future

We must develop a situation of mutual co-dependence

Within the UK As a key node in the global

eco-system

We start from a surprisingly

good position today But have significant

challenges to overcome

Electronic Systems in the UK

Employs more than 850,000 in the UK today ... Half in 30,000 Enterprises working with ES Technologies Half in Embedded in Businesses that depend on Electronic

Systems Directly contributing £78.5Bpa to UK GDP in 2012 (5.4%)

With an indirect impact many times that Working with technology that is mostly invisible to the end-

Five themes of BIS Industrial Strategy:

Industrial Strategy

• A spectrum of support for all sectors;

• Supporting emerging technologies including the “8 Great”;

• Working with business to help develop skills that businesses will need;

• Working to improve access to finance for businesses;

• Giving confidence to business by publishing a forward look of government contracts.

Industry and Government partnership, jointly investing in skills, Building on UK strengths in Processors, Sensors, Communications, Embedded software, Power

Electronics… Creating leadership in

Electronic Systems Engineering (Healthcare, IoT, Energy, Digital Economy)

Autonomous Systems, Robotics and Automation (Manufacturing) Delivering

The best hi tech workforce in the world Environment and culture of innovation Superior Economic Growth Rejuvenated manufacturing sector The best Healthcare system worldwide A real Internet-enabled society

More UK origin Electronic Systems enabling key UK Industry sectors More direct export revenue from UK Electronic Systems

Vision for Leadership

www.esco.org.uk

Seeking to develop and approach that is specific to the UK UK does not want do Asia-style government central planning

approach UK does not have the entrepreneurial scale found in the US 2013-2020 likely constraints on public funding

Industry – government partnership Similar to approach in Automotive / Aerospace Enabling technologies Intersections with industrial applications Enabling new markets

Approach What are we good at that we can exploit further? What should we do ourselves and ask from Government? Let’s look at a prioritised but not an exhaustive list i.e. get

the journey started and make a difference in a few key areas

Philosophy

http://www.esco.org.uk/www.esco.org.uk

Thank you .......keep at it Patent Box – a real help R&D Tax Credits Investment – Green Investment Bank, Start-up fund Spectrum allocation – inching towards white space Climate Change Levy – tax relief for the biggest energy usersGood.....but we could do even better together Innovation/R&D Funding – better contacts ESCO/TSB should help Skills STEM - ESCO supports UKESF, need role models Skills Immigration – ESCO seeks to join the debateNew things to consider Procurement from Government agencies – NHS, MOD, Smart

Meters Political support: focus on growth prospects for the sector (even in

debates on data): promote UK high tech image abroad (Not intended as an exhaustive list)

ESCO focus areas

ESCO Technology Group

December 2013

www.esco.org.uk 17

An industry and a key enabler

R&D is often naturally focussed towards product development – highly innovative systems thinking gives business advantage.

Better Industry - Academia alignment is needed to help define a common technology direction and build business R&D capability.

R&D supply chain behaviour is complex and feeds into multiple end markets. Activities can be defined in term of ecosystems.

Electronic Systems company R&D as a percentage of turnover is high (typically 10-20%) and growing.

Public Sector intervention is at about the right level, but better public-private partnership is required to focus on key areas such as European Programmes and Systems Integration

www.esco.org.uk

Principal Recommendation Create an ESCO

Technology Group

Facilitated by ESCO Associations, bringing Industry and Academia together

Create strategic research agendas & address system thinking

Work in partnership with TSB, EPSRC, BIS and the Catapults

ESCO TG

http://www.esco.org.uk/

What the ESCO TG is A strategic technology forum run under the auspices of the

Electronics systems council and chaired by an industrial member of the council.

Lead Council facilitator: NMI. A forum of lead industrialists and academics from the

electronics systems community. An authoritative voice on technology issues and priorities,

informing government. A partner with other related technology groups in enabling

technologies (such as eFutures, Power Electronics and Photonics)

A conduit between the Electronics Systems Technology Community and Public Sector partners

http://www.esco.org.uk/

What the ESCO TG is not

It is not a duplicate of existing public sector contracts such as the KTN – The ESCO TG is about a coherent technology voice for Electronics Systems Community that informs and assists public sector activities

It is not forum for individual company priorities – it is about overall industry benefit.

In workstreams and activities, it will not duplicate existing initiatives or SIGs. If it is already being done in a way that is good for the industry, the ESCO TG will say so (as it also will if it isn’t!)

Next StepsDec/Jan: Validate ESCO findings with industry and academia

in a small. focused workshop Establish government and stakeholder partnerships

and buy-inFeb/Mar: Hold 1st formal Forum (around 20 community

technology leaders) Establish the quick wins and deliver. Continuously work with the wider community

through eFutures etc.Call to action – let us know……Your inputs and thoughts …If you want to participate as the activities develop.
