 Germany's high tech strategy and the Fraunhofer model is the headline and I have subdivided the presentation in four points. Some remarks about the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft or Fraunhofer Association. Global challenges from our view and Fraunhofer some few worlds and Fraunhofer innovations for added value by especially added value by industrial production. And some remarks to the conclusion. Here you can see an overview about the German scientific or German research landscape or scientific system and it's very interesting. This is the special in the world. It's a special in the world and we every country have a similar but in this strong network you can only this found in Germany. You can see we have as basic for the system the university and the university have in the main objective to build the new to educate the new people in teaching and to realize the studies but study by research supported by research as a teaching supported by research. This is a backbone of the scientific system. We have in Germany in general three different characteristics of different universities. We have the so-called full universities with law and philosophers and languages and so on. Then we have the technical universities and in Germany we have a strong system of technical universities. And we have the so-called applied universities in Germany is the right word Fachhochschulen. The German word Fach means Hochschulen with a special branch or special profile in not so broad as a special profile. And all together build up the backbone for the scientific system. Then we have for basic research the Max Planck Association for scientific insights. They bring us the Nobel awards in Germany. We have the Helmholtz Gemeinschaft for programmatic research. For example nuclear research or in medicine for epidemiology for great questions in the medicine and others also energy. And we have Leibniz. Leibniz is a pool if you can say for human research in human resources in questions for how can we develop the working world in the factories in the future but not so strong in technologies more in social questions. And Fraunhofer. Fraunhofer with our mission application oriented IND innovation push for the economy in Germany especially the industry and in Europe. And you can in the green color you can see the level of innovation part in this research. Here now you can see what is Fraunhofer in Germany. Fraunhofer in Germany that means 66 institutes, 24,000 researchers, a budget of 2.1 billion euros and the special in comparison to the other organizations. Max Planck have a base funding from more than 90 percent. This was Max Planck the second one from bottom up have basic research more than 90 percent. Helmholtz more than 70 percent every time by state and federal government. And Leibniz also in this area Fraunhofer our base funding is 30 percent, 70 percent in our case 1.7 billion we have every year to secure by acquisition in the industry and also in the public programs United Union, European Union, European Union or federal programs or state programs. And this bring a high pressure to the institutes to go to the industry bring your ideas your innovation to the industry. This is the precondition for financing the next year and I think this is one of the keys for the innovation system for the success in the innovation system in Germany. And how is our financing model by Fraunhofer in Germany? You can see this is a red line this is a red line 33 percent base funding, public projects and industrial contracts. In my institute some years I have had 40 percent with the industry and a little bit less base funding in the other year was this is a red line. But nobody or no institute should a longer time come outside from these windows. Then I look as president and call him when the base funding when his base funding represents continuity of scientific excellence. When some years the base funding would go down to 20 percent he have not the precondition for excellence by the industry in the next years. This is the system and very important is also the blue one in the middle the public projects. These projects are mostly financed 50 percent by the industry and 50 percent by federal government state government or the European Union. But in this area of projects comes industry with the researchers together and the risk is not so high 50 percent come public money 50 percent by the companies and you have three four structural advantages. At first companies come together to a special big for example in the automotive industry I mentioned this in the morning light weight construction there are a lot of basic questions in light weight construction. Not every company should find a solution for every detail. They come together the companies come together second advantage the companies and the researchers come together and the third the risk for all participants comes down. So very very interesting part here in the middle in this pre competitive research area and the last one are the direct projects and in our case this are every year a volume of eight hundred fifty million euros. And here you can see other activities from over worldwide and you can recognize we have a cluster in our international activities in Europe. We have a cluster in our in our international activities in the United States and we have this in in East Asia and since five years we have also an increase in our activities in South America. What you can see on the right and the legend we have different structures of cooperation in international conference of international cooperation. We have subsidiaries legal daughters subsidiaries. We have centers centers are long term institutes we call it centers for the in Germany we have the college institutes for activities centers and we have project centers. The project centers are not long term oriented on the solution for a special for a special question with the with partners in the country and on the end comes a decision we continue or we close it work is done. And we have strategic corporations by icon program is financed by our organization and we have representative offices and senior advisors as you can see we have here in Ireland and senior advisor for the Jerry Byrne long friend of mine scientific colleague in the international academy for production engineering and Jerry Byrne was also the president of this academy and it is a pleasure that we convene him first cooperation here in Ireland Jerry. And in summary you can see we have 50 international frown over activities worldwide and turn over in this room of nearly 280 million. But you can also see the subsidies have although have only nearly 30 million. The most projects are realized by the institutes in Germany together with others. And here you get a little bit an insight in our inner structure by Fraunhofer. The 66 institutes must be a little bit structured in from different reasons. And you can see we have information and communicate we have and so called groups or alliances for information and communication technologies there are 17 institutes life sciences seven institutes light and surface six microelectronics 11 11 11 production 7 and materials 14 and we have also a part for the fans and security of seven members this is a long tradition when a long tradition when Fraunhofer was founded 67 years before there was the organization founded but there was no institutes and after the World War two was a decision some institutes from the defense research was let me say the basic the start to development Fraunhofer and from this we have also responsibility until to today is in the most cases material science and for communication technologies. Now some words to global challenges. The most global challenge from our view is the demographic change climate and resources are a follow of the demographic change and in this triangle we have to find solutions and the digitization over overlaid all the other global challenges and as you know we have I have I pick out here one of the challenges and here you can see the resource problematic and I we selected the year 2050 because in 2048 we are on the end with our oil with our crude oil from the few today when we continue our activities without efficiency and when we when we not found new resources in the next years and very important is on the right in the right box we have and this is important for the strategy also for countries should we give strategy in in services in industrial production the demographic development leads us to the need that we have to realize more productions worldwide that we can keep the people in peace a lot of conflicts which we have worldwide come from the needs to to values to products to closures to cars also all the things what we need and our our calculation is today we are 7.5 billion people but only 1.5 until 2 billion people have a level of life quality like we here in the room only for the people which we have we have to to we have four times or three four five times to increase the production volume and in 2050 we will be 9 billion and the challenge is we have nearly the six-fold growth of added value by less by much less or much fewer using of resources what are in in in detail the challenges we need following the demographic change we need products for what I mentioned we need products for more people we need simple products with high effects we need cheap products with also suitable characteristics but we need also for an aging population for aging for the aging population in the industrial nations total new products for example function integration we have developed for example a glove we have we have developed excuse me we have developed a glove in this case not the hand moves the glove the glove moves the hand for for therapy when you if you have had an operation or other things and but also for support in production technologies you can more you can bring more forces for different working processes emission neutrality for climate protection through closed loops in production technologies big data for competitiveness I have some slides for this and ICT security through integrated dynamic concepts in general we can say and I think especially in such a honorable round like this person's here today is this a very very important essential message for the for the for the society in general we need a new we need a paradigm change we need a new paradigm yesterday was maximum profit with minimal capital investment tomorrow we need maximum value creation with minimal resources but in addition to this I say every time but also by enough profit said we can invest in new technologies technologies to realize this paradigm change we don't forget this and ways for to arrive this objective you can see in green cities resource efficiency closed loops sustainable production production when I see here green cities and I look to Ireland is also a very interesting effect in Germany we have had in the last years great projects to mega cities great projects to mega cities to challenges during the mega cities mega cities in India in China sometimes I asked in public discussions and for which mega cities in Germany use this money oh and a lot of people at first the Bavarians said we have also to realize to create new high level jobs based on the new possibilities by IT technology in the in the land also in the in rural areas for example this is also a question in Germany we have Sophie knows the numbers in Germany we have 7 17 and the millions 56 we have 56 million of the people we are we are 80 we are 80 million people in Germany 56 live in cities smaller than 100 000 people we have only 4 million cities Berlin Hamburg Munich and Köln Köln Köln so and then some with 500 my hometown is Dresden 500 Dresden Leipzig Frankfurt 500 600 and and we new new technologies also for the for the land areas and I think this is also a strategic point in in in Ireland we have only you have also not only the people in Dublin so we have also here similar similar challenges come some concrete remarks to flounder for areas of research of research great topics in our research work our health and environment communication and information production and services mobility and transportation energy and resources and safety and security you can under the line see what are special topics for communication and information areas you can see here internet access for rural areas for example is such a is such a topic or efficiency water water projects are also beside the industrial projects water projects is very interesting there come a new project together with South Africa also for the German industry that we realize new products like a washing machine washing machine washing machine washing machine we want with South Africa together to produce new components for washing machine for the for the water for the drinking water in the houses because there are a lot of a lot of health problems by not clean water and we we bring cleaning machine like like a washing machine at the home for every house and you have clean water and have we we have not more the problems with the health Germany have a high tech strategy this is also a sim I think this is a singularity between the countries in Europe the French people the French government have had a consulting with our department leader mrs one car and leading persons from the research organizations in Germany francs have also in France want also to design a national strategy for national high tech strategy what is the background in Germany every company have a high tech strategy so smaller and also especially the larger companies but we have two institutions in Germany where we bound the topics and the priorities one institution is so-called innovation dialogue by the chancellor Angela Merkel we are 20 20 persons from the from the science president of max blank and myself from fraunhofer then leaders from bmw borsch but also from medium and small companies also medium small companies and then from the from the government and we are in a discussion every time prepared by the industry and by science through special topics where we have the chance the chancellor the the minister of economics Gabriel and also the minister of science mrs one car to present our few of the to-do list so it's the high-level to-do list to bring the country not only a different company to bring the country in innovation strategy ahead and the second the second institution which we have is the germany's high tech forum forum high tech forum and in the high tech forum we discuss the high tech strategy this is leaded by mr barner is the head of birger imelheim and myself and in this shot you can see what are our topics do we have what topics we have today in discussion to push in germany this in the high tech strategy and when we when we concentrate and when we after a long and strong discussion process have focused from this area or from this overview three or five topics then we offer the general the federal government to organize a program a program a support program for research not only for the institute not only for the research institutions and for the universities for both also the economics as the industry and in the economic enterprises get here a support from the government and as you can see here is a wide range and to this with are in the red box i can give if you want some remarks more is my time over mr president i think you're doing very well thank you okay then some remarks to this you can see here we have frowned over we have so-called so-called profiling lighthouse projects and on one hand a great topic in germany will be driven by frowned over there's a development of so-called terror nostic implants that meets implants which have the functionality of diagnostic what has happened in the joint and of therapy both the second is electromobility we have we have a good level today in germany you must see in japan get you i think 10 000 or 15 000 euros if you buy a new electrical car in south scoria also not so much in i think in in in in norway also in germany you get nothing you get nothing but we have also nearly one million cars it's our goal 2021 million cars on the on the roads but it's not a problem from my side i think we come to this rare earth metals is also a very very important thing because electromobility without access to rare earth will be a dream not more and e3 production e3 production that means the 3e efficiency in production technology emission free or emission neutrality in production technology and the third e is integration of the humans ergonomy ergonomy integrating of the humans in the production technology this is the international project escorted by the international academy of production engineering and cherry burn here from ireland is one of the evaluators of this project and one of the important initiatives also by the national high tech strategy and also from our side from flounder is only this product only this project i lead self at the present time and this is the initiative industrial data space and the background is you during the lunch we spoke about industry 4.0 and if you want to realize it is industry 4.0 you need different pre discussion pre conditions thank you you need in a different pre conditions and data velocity also latency latency you need data security nobody from the medium and small companies give her over a long years term by hard work generated ip in the cloud nobody will do it but by special security is this possible and the third precondition between the velocity and the security are the standards and for the standards we have now in germany together with the european union a solution this is this solution is driven by the industry the security solution is driven by frowned over together with the industry the standards by the industry and the velocity and the bright band the bright band networks infrastructural challenge for the government and this is in germany a real problem in in in in bright in bright band networks and in the the tensile latency time for the tens if we call us from here to from my from my mouse i mean if i spoke to the other people we have today 40 milliseconds 40 milliseconds when we call from my speak until you we have 30 40 milliseconds for industrial processes for industry 4.0 we need 0.1 milliseconds we're dramatically down and before we have no solutions for these three preconditions will industry 4.0 be self a cloud our solution for security is that we not prefer a cloud as a server outside in other country or as a outside from europe in a country we prefer a solution uh as a network not a new physical network we use the networks and we use the clouds the servers in the industrial partners enterprises which take part in the network but we frowned over realize uh it's a present time a software which generate the security the data security is a data security in this network and we have a lot of companies which work here together is very interesting here are involved the automotive industry the supplier industry the steel industry the chemical industry the endurance economy the german german barn here the german railways chemical industry i have mentioned is a big run and we are together with the european union that we transfer this in the uh with mr ettinger and a lot of other guys and uh french and companies from france and also from uh netherlands are first involved and my last chart i think here you can see for example is this was it technology there are a lot more challenges here for energy and this is a very nice example for a solution for three problems first problem we have in the follow of renewable energies especially by sun solar energy and by wind a volatile volatile level volatile level by the energy um uh by the energy for fikverkite energy generation in germany we have i cannot say how is the situation in ireland in germany we have not only the question set this volatile volatile volatile dead in this energy uh not only you can not only get the energy for nothing today the companies pay said you take the overhanging energy volume and this is a problem the volatility the volatility the English word for volatility dead the volatility the volatility i've 13 years learned russian have have and have everybody an idea why and uh uh this is the first problem there's energy by volatility the second problem is especially for energy by fossil uh capacities of especially also for for steel production they produce carbon dioxide today is our idea carbon dioxide we capture the carbon dioxide and we uh bring it down in there and nobody will is have under his guard and uh there is a solution and this is the second problem and the third problem is uh analyzes also from our uh uh association show that we get in 10 15 years problems uh with uh uh with uh cool stuff with carbon with carbon as a resource with carbon as resource clear carbon as resource for medicine industry for pharma industry for lightweight constructions for carbon fiber constructions and a lot of others and uh now is the idea when we it is it is possible by a photosynthetic process or by a electrochemical process a convert to realize a conversation of carbon dioxide back to carbon and water if you give a lot of energy as input when this energy come from a process energy generation which produced carbon dioxide it is no solution when this energy come from the overhanging energy by sustainable energy this could be a solution and now uh we have here a great project in north rhein-westphalia to group as producer of carbon dioxide uh rwe as a rwe and a great german energy company a lot of smaller companies there are a lot of possibilities for new business models for small companies and fraunhofer and max plank we together uh said we want to scale up this process to use it in the future in the industry the question is only to store only a storage of the overhanging energy from sustainable energy production it was not the only way we can also use other storages for the energy for example when we come a little bit ahead with our cell production for for decentral for example in the cars but we need in the future also steel i mentioned we have to we have to produce six times more worldwide products in the future when we want to keep the people at home feeling well so in an ecosystem what is very very good and we need steel when we need steel we produce carbon dioxide but when we produce carbon dioxide we can this energy from sustainable energy use and we bring it in carbon and i have forgot and on the end with this carbon with this clear carbon you can then go two ways one way we use the carbon for pharma industry chemical industry uh and uh lightweight construction the other way we transfer the carbon in synthetic oil synthetic crude oil and use it for electromobility and then we have from carbon dioxide green electromobility this is not a bad idea and on this we work very very strong very very strong so conclusion fraunhofer's motivation is more relevant than ever why is fraunhofer the patron of our institution fraunhofer was a researcher on one hand he was the inventor of the black fraunhofer lines in the spectral colors and on the other hand he was an entrepreneur he built up fernrohr a telescope he built up a telescope one of his famous customers was peter the great from russia he visits him personal in uh bavaria in in in in in an in an old uh cluster in in in in in a monastery and he peter the great would say how is this with my telescope and this was and uh fraunhofer said every times whatever we do we have to be we have to make a break think about think about our mission our objectives and come back to our uh core to our core focus on our core objectives it's very very important mostly especially in research we go step by step we found a new a new question here a new question and all things go in the in the wide range we have to focus when we focus we have success thank you very much
