3. The Action Plan (EASME/DG ENTR/DG RTD)
• Main reasons: step up one gear in the cooperation (Original action plan 2011…)
• Synergy, no competition. It is about the client!
• New contact points (transparency and efficiency)
• All EEN consortia, EEN Sector Groups
• All national/regional NCPs, NCP CSAs. (New!)
• Refresh good practices (compendium)
• Promote cooperation
• Info exchange/Signposting
• Info days/brokerage events/trainings
• Partner search
• "National/sectoral task forces"…
Setting up of task forces. It is a people's business!
• Target group: NCP/EEN national coordinators, NCP CSA coordinators, EEN SG Chairs
• EASME, DG ENTR, DG RTD will be in touch with you to encourage…
• Memoranda of understanding with your peers:
– Common mini annual work plans (2-3 events/trainings; not more)
 No additional bureaucracy. It is your daily bread.
– X-change of client profiles (automisation, sub groups, matchmaking, Linked in…)
– H2020 SME instrument / innovation management action
– Communication platform: "Linked in?!"

Energy/NCPs standard ppt
Cooperation: basic issues

5. AOB
• (…)
• Cooperation with EEN:
• what is the status ?
• No rolling plans arrived, no ppt on EEN for our
standard presentation has been prepared.
• The synergy between our partner search and EEN
databases can be considered at item 1 above as it
may be of interest for other NCPs as well.

6. • Capacity building- national EEN Thematic
platforms/meetings
• EEN presentation slides for C-Energy/NCPs standard ppt
• Intensity of collaboration
• Seal of Ecxellence
• Regonal involvment in Energy ERA-Nets
• Synergy with Structural Funds
• Regional FCH-Initiative
• C-Energy/Masterclass, webinars, b2bs –which way to go

• SMEs need coaching and advise for further
funding opportunities
–European Structural and Investment Fund
–Financial Instruments
• NCPs are keen to cooperate

12. Regonal involvment in Energy ERA-Nets
• ERA-NETs calls are intiated by interest of MS
(regions?)
• „coordinatig“ body is JAWG ( Joint Actions Working
Group ) of SET-Plan Steering Group
• JAWG is composed of HL ministerial officials
• Regions are not represented in that group

13. Regonal involvment in Energy ERA-Nets

• Bioenergy BESTF4 (LCE-35) – UK
• On-Shore wind (LCE-35) – Spain
• Smart Grids (LCE-37) - Austria
• Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (LCE – 35) – Spain
• Solar PV (LCE – 35) – Switzerland
2018
• ACT 2? - Norway
• Demowind 3 – UK
• Geothermica 2? – Iceland (or 2019)
• Industrial Energy Efficiency – Lead tba
2019
• Bioenergy BESTF5 (LCE-35) – UK
• Geothermica 2? – Iceland (or 2018)
• Ocean? - Scotland / UK
• Smart Grids Plus 2? - Austria
2020
• Demowind 4 - UK
• Smart Cities (??)

14. Proposal
• As a member of JAWG I can provide you
information on ERA-NETs on regular basis
• Regions may be interested to exercise the
cooperation under the “Berlin Model” as an
alternative to INTERREG like projects

15. Synergy with Structural Funds

19. Energiebunker –
energy shelter Hamburg
EUR 3.1 Million from ERDF

20. Energy shelter Hamburg

PCP/PPI
Proposal

22. FCH JU
Name der Präsentation

23. Regional FCH-Initiative
The FCH JU is launching a large, ambitious study to develop markets, enable solutions and
coordinate funding
• FCH JU needs active collaborations with interested regions/cities in which they:
– Define product needs
– Provide input to define business cases for these products
– Engage directly with a broad spectrum of industry players who can supply the products
– Help coordinate and maximize funding/financing sources to implement solutions
• FCH JU offers:
– Our commitment to work with you
– Cover 100% of the costs of external support (consultants)
• FCH JU requests:
– Your commitment to provide input and engage actively in the study and beyond in the rollout
– A vision to include hydrogen-based technologies in the portfolio of solutions to be supported in
your community
• As a first step, FCH JU asks interested communities to sign a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) There will be a symbolic signing ceremony held on November 23 at the FCH JU
annual Stakeholder Forum in Brussels

24. Proposal
• NCPs are the official supporters for FCH JU
activities
• FCH market uptake measures have dedicated
regional character (local infrastructures)
