The Italian Working Group on KETs
• Key Enabling Technologies drivers for promoting future
industrial growth within Horizon 2020
• All advanced countries consider strategically vital to
build a strong position in this field
• Need for cooperation/coordination of R&I policies
(government, industry, public research) to maximize KETs benefit
AIRI promoted (2011) a WG on KETs at national level,
on the basis of its regular assessment of the industrial tech in Italy
Assessment of Priority Technologies (PT) for the Italian Industry
• 8th edition (running since the ‘90s)
• 100 R&D Managers involved
• Short/medium term tech
• 8 key industrial sectors and 84 priority tech identified
• Representative of the Italian landscape (AIRI)
2012 edition: + analysis of KETs in the 8 sectors

The analysis of KETs
• KETs Working Group: experts from industry and academia, in close relation
with the Priority Tech WG
• Members: AIRI/Nanotec IT, CNR, Mossi & Ghisolfi Group, Finmeccanica,
Ericsson, Politecnico di Milano, STMicroelectronics
• Scope: providing a strategical vision of KETs at national level
Methodology:
• Analysis of background information
• Collection of inputs from Priority Tech coordinators (PT-KETs matrix)
• Desk analysis of the Priority Tech report

Key Enabling Technologies (KETs)
Knowledge, capital-intensive tech:
•pervasive, enabling process, innovation throughout the economy
• systemic relevance • high R&D • rapid and integrated innovation cycles • high capital expenditure • highly skilled employment • multidisciplinary, transsectorial • trend towards convergence, tech integration
Priority Technologies (PT)
for the Italian industry
Enabling tech (not products):
• Innovative and of concrete industrial/
business relevance • Impact on national economy
(jobs, export, competition…) • impact on one or more sectors
(systemic relevance) • 3 years application timeframe
(rapid innovation cycles) • Integrated in a value chain perspective
Several PT are:
capital intensive
require highly skilled employment
Background: KETs and Priority Tech definitions and similarities
KETs and Priority Tech are closely related

Three cases:
• KET same as the sector (e.g. micro-nanoelectronics, AMS)
• KET same as the Priority Technology (es. nanomaterials for catalysis)
• KETs contribute to some extent to the Priority tech

• Cross cutting KETs,
• contributing in most national priority industrial tech
• Key competences across sectors, products, value chains
• Common challenges and drivers across sectors and technologies
• R&I as a tool for competitiveness
• Sustainable/Responsible R&I: quality/standard of products and work
organizations, efficiency, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle
• Aligment of KETs framework with Italian industrial system
(as represented by AIRI)
• Different levels of maturity of KETs
Conclusions
Private –public cooperation is key, on tech and sustainability issues
• Tech area and tech maturity may require different approaches
• A roadmapping and SWOT exercise envisaged to help focus and
coordinate efforts
