Manufacturing today worldwide…
•
Around 25% of GDP (22% in EU)
•
In Europe about 2.5 million enterprises (of
which 99% SMEs) and 28% of employment
European strengths:
knowledge generation, products customisation,
creativity
European weaknesses:
low productivity growth, low development of
high-tech industries, low innovation, skill gaps

• LINEARITY = a simple function expanded
step by step in time
• COMPLEXITY = a system composed of many
linear functions characterized
by a global dynamic which is
different from the dynamic
of each function
• LINEAR APPROACH = chain of production
• COMPLEX APPROACH = simultaneous
engineering
Bucharest, 14th May 2004
SIX MAIN CHANGES
• From linearity to complexity
• From individual to system competitiveness
• From resources-based to knowledge-based
economy
• From macro to micro
• From top down to bottom up production systems
• From mono-disciplinarity to trans-disciplinarity
Bucharest, 14th May 2004
Transition from a « traditional economy » based
on traditional resources to a new economy based
on knowledge
The triplet « land-labour-capital » is replaced
by knowledge –capital
…this implies moving from an economy of
‘quantity‘ to an economy of ‘quality’, from
an economy of ‘use and waste’ to a
sustainable economy

Novel activities and the new generation of
high-tech industries are showing up on the
market
The shift from labour-intensive to
brain–intensive operations modifies
jobs and skills required

Key issues
from the Conference Manufuture
 The importance of the multi-disciplinary approach
to improve EU competitiveness in the context of
socio-economic sustainability
 Highlight the importance of international cooperation
 Improve the image of Manufacturing
 The need of a competitive EU research
Finally, two main challenges:
 To conceive the entire production system in such a
way that high added value and quality of final
products and services can substantially absorb
labour costs
 To build up competitive knowledge-based systems

Why is nanotechnology important
for European society and industry?
Market Volume (€ billion)
Analysts estimate that the market for products based on
nanotechnology could rise to hundreds of billion by 2010
and exceed one trillion after


Several countries started national nanotechnology between the mid-1980’s and mid1990’s
Overall investment of around 200 million € in 1997 has risen to around 1,000 million €
in 2003
Levels of public investment vary considerably between 0.05 and 5.6 € per citizen
Transnational projects in the EU’s 4th (~30M€/year) and 5th (~45M€/year)
Framework Programmes
Nanotechnology identified as a main priority area in the 6th Framework Programme
(~250M€/year)


European public investment in nanotechnology
R&D should increase by a factor of 3 by 2010
Focus upon transforming our knowledge into
wealth generating products and processes
Reinforce the next FP for added-value via
critical mass, transnational collaboration and
competition
Effective coordination of national programmes
with both OMC and ERA-NET mechanisms
Bring public and private stakeholders together
to strengthen roadmap and foresighting
activities
