The document summarizes a presentation given at the 14th Annual Plenary Conference on Space and Sustainability in Warsaw, Poland. It discusses the importance of public funding for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) applications research and development in Europe to maximize the socioeconomic benefits. Specifically, it notes that without adequate public investment, Europe risks losing competitiveness in the growing global GNSS market and failing to realize the full potential of the Galileo satellite navigation program. The presentation calls for dedicating a substantial budget line for GNSS applications R&D within the EU's Horizon 2020 research program.

To provide the European GNSS downstream Industry with the means to
reach excellence, remain competitive in a global market and expect
future commercial and societal benefits
To guarantee the use of Galileo and EGNOS by securing substantial EU public
investments in their applications development
To dramatically and quickly increase the level of EU public funding in
GNSS applications R&D to a minimum of EUR 100-200 M per year to
optimize EU benefits and not miss the window of opportunity for Europe
To support the European industry in investing and developing critical GNSS
technologies, applications and services

At EU level
Need for dedicated budget line within
Horizon 2020 for GNSS applications R&D
At EU Member States level
Need for concrete actions to develop GNSS
applications

11. Conclusion
GNSS application industry can act :
to take up EU challenges
to reach EU2020 ambitions
Public funding for GNSS Applications R&D is
crucial to maximize the socioeconomic
benefits for European citizens !!!

16. Necessity of public funding for
GNSS applications R&D (1/2)
Public funding necessary to reach excellence, be competitive in
a global market and expect future commercial and societal
benefits
GNSS technology mature commodity, but still requiring major
improvements
Without public support : GNSS development to follow purely
economic approach from industry preventing to reach
excellence
GNSS applications : one of the most promising markets (1/2)
Contribution to all major global policies, as part of the solutions
to the next generation challenges
Immediate benefits:
 creation of new industrial activities, and hundreds of
thousands of jobs
 enhancing the day to day life and wellbeing of citizens
16

17. Necessity of public funding for
GNSS applications R&D (2/2)
GNSS applications : one of the most promising markets (2/2)
Annual growth rate of Global GNSS market = +11%
Public budget dedicated towards GNSS applications R&D
decisive impact on the GNSS market
Generate a snowball effect fertilizing further applications and
domains with GNSS technology
Significant catalytic effect of public budget in GNSS field expected
In Europe : EUR 1 invested in GNSS application R&D
generates about EUR 100 of European turnover

18. Galileo Full Success
Galileo Full Success :
Deployment of the infrastructure
Use of the Galileo infrastructure
ROI in Europe
Benefits for Europe’s citizens:
 Growth
 Employment
 Enhancing the citizens’ wellbeing
Being part of conditions to ensure the full success
of Galileo :
Preparation of the Galileo user segment
EU GNSS downstream market development
18

19. Lack of EU public funding before the IOC and FOC
prevent:
Adequate preparation of the user segment
Success of Galileo Programme
“Huge risk of the absence of EU public GNSS applications R&D budget
until 2014, whereas it is absolutely essential that European GNSS/Galileo
downstream industry is ready when IOC availability will be declared.”
GS Letter to Mr Antonio Tajani, Vice-President of the European Commission

What are the Challenges and Risks?

20. 20
No more EU public funding for GNSS
applications R&D
Benefits from EU GNSS Programmes for Europe in jeopardy ?!
Major support for R&D is to be expected at European Level
through Framework Programme
Very limited support at National Level
350M€ initially allocated to GNSS R&D within FP7
Around 100M€ remaining after the cut to fund the Galileo
Infrastructure
3rd and last FP7 GNSS Call for Proposals (July 2010)
And thereafter….. No further support! Budget being exhausted
No specific budget line for GNSS application R&D foreseen
for the period post-2013!

21. 21
What are the Challenges and Risks?
The importance of Galileo for Europe and the strong need to complete the
infrastructure deployment as fast as possible are indisputable!
The support to GNSS applications development in Europe can not be delayed
until Galileo early services are operational.
The challenge is at the worldwide GNSS market level, TODAY!
GNSS Technology : Under development and out of reach in a few years
Current market boom
Immediate benefits from GNSS applications and services development
The present context of economic crisis gives a strong additional incentive,
not to lose the opportunity to develop new industrial activities in Europe!
