 Let's me start with three little sentences. I think you agree people want a future people need a future and I think we agree future needs innovation and but at the same time innovation Needs research to make it clear Fraunover is a contract company. We do we are doing contract research for the industry But in recent years the Fraunover Gazelle Shaff has changed its approach To a strategy development and shifted the perspective From supply to demand driven needs a little bit The emphasis is now on future challenges and the changes associated with them and the opportunities arising from these challenges and Then coming to new markets. I think Therefore, we agree people need a future looking at all this studies of UNESCO or other people We all agree. They are really Very important challenges in the first 21st century these mostly called eight challenges health and nutrition energy and resources environmental and climate protection Urbanization and globalization poverty demographic change mobility and last but not least disasters of course These challenges do not stand in isolation from one another But are closely into Interdependent this overall interdependence is particularly Permanent to the issue of poverty for instance Progress in other fields for action always represents an important step towards combating poverty Research and development can make an important contribution Contribution to meet all these challenges to create a platform For meeting these challenges of the future the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft has set up the internal markets beyond tomorrow program it focuses on Identifying the problems that need to be addressed and what people expect from the research work involved involved Fraunhofer lets itself be guided by the needs of society people need health they need energy Communication a healthy environment mobility and of course security if we take a general look As the technologies that will shape the 21st century the following stand out microstructure technologies For example micro electronics micro mechanics micro optics micro biology Developments and materials and process including the photonics Biotechnology and genetic engineering Power and environmental engineering The technologies that we should see as really key enabling tell our technologies are those that if we master them Will be the precondition to economy success and social change The application will open up new markets and areas of growth innovation will have a special role to play in their development These key enabling technology technologies will initially be mainly used in product innovations and normally require innovations in processes Starting from these global social Cellentures that have to be faced the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft X the mind its portfolio across all of its institutes in the process That identified six future Institutions which can be expected to create growth markets requiring requiring considerable research affordable health care Disaster prediction and management Low emission reliable mobility in urban areas Information and communication Low loss generation distribution and use of electricity and Life cycle production. Let's come to the first part health and nutrition Research into people's health and their environment means health research is devoted to a wide variety of topics Analysts and diagnosis should be made simpler Faster and safer by modern technology Searchable procedures may be should must be made as minimally invasive to page patent patients as possible to reduce risk and recovery times Therapeutic techniques and prosthetics must be optimally fitted to patients bodies and to treatment goals Technology can also help to make many aspects of pharmaceutical research more efficient Given that nutrition and food technology are decisive factors in health They also play an important part in Fraunhofer research as does effective environmental protection Comprehensive information on avoidable risk and a healthy lifestyle are just as important as preventive care and the early diagnosis of disease The results of Fraunhofer studies contribute to all areas of medical environmental and nutrition Research helping to improve patient's health and ultimately Working toward the reduction of course for the health care system and Making clear what really our markets beyond tomorrow program means We try to put together our activities in Fraunhofer by really offering a program within Fraunhofer by the Board of Directors and for instance one of these beyond of Tomorrow products is this product skin here As you know until now therapies for chronic wounds have been based on experience But the healing process was has not yet been understood Researchers from five Fraunhofer institutes have joined forces to change all that they want to make the treatment of Corning wounds more effective and able patients themselves to check whether they open wounds are healing or having become infected with bacteria The researchers are pulling the expertise in the beyond tomorrow projects as I just called skin here this one example looking at another topic Safety and security as you know extreme weather major accidents forest fires And of course terrorists attacks in the end of a disaster the rescue services need reliable information Intelligent analysis and information systems help rescue personnel to do their job in modern situation centers Equipped with video walls or monitors all the information they need is made available at a glance Fraunhofer sciences also conduct work on making urban life safer in Cities people Live in a confined space, so it is essential That's the supply of energy water and medical care function reliably The vital arterios of our highly complex and closely meshed society must be kept flowing smoothly at the old times risk analysts and Advanced technologies can help to protect this relevant infrastructure the range of research projects extends from new proposals and Newed from new concepts for the construction of safe skycrapers capable of withstanding a plane crash Through new developments for people and luggage checks at airports to future video monitoring systems When a serious incident occurs The police fire and emergency emergency medical services have to take decisions quickly They depend on receiving information that is reliable Information and communication techniques help them to keep on top of the situation Mobile systems are also provide them with the necessary information on site It is too dangerous for the rescue Surfaces to enter the scene on the of the accident of the incident Robots equipped with cameras and measuring instruments move into the danger zone Drones observe the situation from the air and transmit pictures and data for the control center Or having a look at the next topic Whether it's jetting off on holiday Driving to work visiting visiting relatives or simply going shopping It all adds up to an entire lifetime spent on the move on water or land and in the air Globalization has increased personal mobility as well as fried mobility We eat kiwis from New Zealand by computers made in China Products travel thousands of miles before they reach the consumers Fauna for researchers are looking to control transportation and make it reliable Even eliminating it entirely at certain points with the ultimate aim of managing resources sustainably People need mobility and fraun over striving to meet these needs in a way that is compatible with humans and the environment And looking at the next topic of course we need information and communication The extent to which ICT affects and makes our daily lives easier is set to grow in future All based on tiny sensors and wireless communication which together give passive Objects from the carpet through clothing to the window The capacity of a new function They can automatically adjust to the user and forward Valuable information to communication networks There by helping to prevent traffic traffic James for instance or monitor patients health is it is up To each of us to decide how many of these ubiquitous Unseen helpers are deployed say in the intelligent intelligent house Which automatically ensures safety and optimum energy use usage or as part of the wireless networking of consumer electronics electronics in the home and You need you know the energy Change in in Germany and we do a lot of new energy Research in fraun over With our energy we would have no warm homes No hot water for showers and no electricity to keep food chilled Operate appliances or allow us to work at the computer Up to now our economy has been driven and our homes made comfortable by oil gas and coal Slowly but surely as you know in Germany a little bit quicker these natural resource This changes quicker not the these natural resources are running out That means for everybody if you want to continue to enjoy affordable power heat and cooling in the future We need to become more efficient in the way we use energy Get better at storing it reliably and try harder to develop renewable energy resources weather from the Sun Wind coming from the Sun Sun as well water or biomass an increasing amount of energy is obtained from renewable resources Two main developments are driven demand for renewable energy As crude oil and natural gas supplies are slowly dwindling the price of oil gas and coal is rising more over UN surveys demonstrate that emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2 must be reduced dramatically if we are to Prevent the earth from heating up by more than two degrees Celsius the transition of to the to a sustainable energy supply is one of the greatest challenges we face in the 21st century and I just mentioned One example is the skin skin he'll project of the markets beyond tomorrow program another example for just Project is this beyond tomorrow program Supergrid large scale solar thermal systems in Africa offshore wind parks in the North Sea photovoltaic power plants in the South and Just and many decentralized systems in Central Europe Art to produce a large percentage of our electricity in the future But a number of challenges must still be overcome for the transition of to renewable energy to be successful How can we combine renewables and then transport electricity without considerable loss across thousands of kilometers from North of Europe to thousands of Europe and then transport electricity without really Consolable loss Can strongly fluctuating energy be effectively stored? How can we feed the electricity into our networks in the beyond tomorrow project super grid? from over a development components that will store and distribute electricity electricity with minimal loss and as we just heard By the minister we need a production scene in Europe more than before really and As the costs of raw materials energy are skyrocketing in many industries They have long since been the determining factor in the price of the end product The Paradigm and shift is needed if companies are to continue to thrive in the global market Maximum edit value must be generated for minimum resources that that means we are oftentimes in new production technology one of the key tasks for the future is to increase efficiency in production and Utilizing materials economy Kelly researchers are active across a wide range of disciplines We saw resources can be saved with wire processing metals by replacing Machining manufacturing processes with forming processes The experts aim to improve resource utilize utilization in component manufacture by means of innovation in tool construction They also aim to reduce emissions and manufacturing costs Resources can be conserved very effectively for the economical use of materials So it is important to increase process stability and produce a few rejects as possible New materials and I think this is one topic of this conference and surface structures also offer a great deal of potential The development of micro and nano structures not only feeds through into a shorter process change But all also facilitates more energy efficient production of engines and other powertrain components Fraunhofer Provides research services to customers in industry as I mentioned in the beginning and the public sector Also, our business is based on innovation and our aim is to leverage science and research to develop Innovative products and applications that benefit people If we are to this to succeed Fraunhofer research must always remain in touch with people at the only means of identifying current and future needs and Julie orienting our research according to the market Innovation is one of the key factors in commercial success knowing current customer needs Keeping up with the state of the art and quickly responding to the market changes is essential to survival is a competitive global market place Successful companies are well aware of that and value and value in innovation culture that delivers results Fraunhofer is a long-term partner who can help companies succeed We develop implement and optimize processes products and systems until they are really ready for use and ready for the market We help our customers roll out new organizational structures and technologies in their companies We provide contract research and innovation in virtually all applications application relevant fields of expertise Of course, you may I think you will need it. You will know it. We are now more than 80 research Institute more than 20,000 employees and your budget is about 1 8 billion so we are really ready to cooperate with companies in Europe with the Europe Commission and I think The Commission knows it. We are quite good customers And of course we would like to be a good customer the future and a good Good partner for for all for especially for the industry in Europe Coming to an end To the end of my talk, I would give a short comment to the new horizon 2020 discussion we have this discussion about the new simplification activities and of course we Find it very helpful to have simplification In the last years the large RTO they installed at every place full cost calculation and The nowadays you can see it by this slide that is Large at O's as we call it that are these at O's which having this full cost calculation and Having I think quite a good role a very important role in in the technology transfer system in Europe. They Not only to look at the considered fact that when you look at this slide it is It is show that I think the RTOs are playing really a significant role and in this place and For this we Look forward, but we look very Specific forward to the Your simplification project this 100 Direct and 20% and indirect cost as you see by this slide if you if the large RTOs are really together in EG you project the cooperation with industry is really increasing and therefore We hope that we will find a solution for the simplification We are now looking at the numbers and Most RTOs expect an effective research funding rate in horizon 2020 Of about 50 to 65 percent that means it's less than last time when it was 75 percent. So I think we should have a discussion on this because Otherwise, it might be that we will not so intensive within this horizon 2020 program than before But of course, let me summarize not to be to say wrong words Of course, we need simplification, but we need a simplification that is Simplify both simplification for both sides and but it's not only just a hint A short topic. I think coming back to the first one Beyond tomorrow We feel there will be there are new markets and these markets should be open by innovation and research and we are prepared to do it and Second point for the future. We need key enabling technologies maybe even more than in the past and I think we will cooperate together. I hope with all the participants from industry you should Be open to come to to Fraunhofer or to an RTO in Europe And of course to the world University as well. Thank you for your attention
