The document discusses clusters and networks in Austria's R&D and innovation policy. It makes three key points:
1. Austria has developed a broad system of research funding to support innovation, spending over €8 billion in 2011. Clusters are an effective tool for cooperation between companies and with research institutions.
2. Austria was an early mover in cluster policy in Europe. There are now around 50 regional clusters involving nearly 4,000 companies generating €80 billion in revenue. Clusters support competitiveness, growth, and employment.
3. The National Cluster Platform facilitates cooperation and contributes to R&D policy. It has working groups on topics like innovation, research, internationalization, and knowledge services.

The document discusses the Regions of Knowledge program under the EU's 7th Framework Programme. It provides an overview of the program's goals, funding amounts, and annual topics from 2007-2011. The 2011 call focused on transnational cooperation between regional research-driven clusters to boost competitiveness in the transport sector through innovative approaches. The program aims to promote regional economic development, smart specialization, and public-private partnerships through mentoring and developing joint research agendas between clusters in different EU countries and regions. While successful in integrating more regions into the knowledge economy, the program could be expanded through increased funding and synergies with other EU funding instruments.

Chinese M&A in Europe: beyond the headlinesChe Tang
Chinese M&A in Europe has grown significantly in recent years, especially in 2016, but new Chinese regulations have slowed this growth. While the total investment volumes are large, they represent only a small percentage of China and Europe's overall FDI. Most Chinese acquisitions in Europe have targeted manufacturing and technology industries, along with consumer and health industries. The motivations for Chinese investment include addressing China's economic transformation and slowing domestic growth. Government policies facilitate but do not command Chinese outbound investment. The future success of Chinese acquisitions in Europe will depend on the management strategies of the combined companies.

This document summarizes research on barriers to cooperation in business networks in the Wielkopolska region of Poland. The research identified the main barriers through a questionnaire and interviews with twelve regional economic networks. The biggest barriers were a lack of financing for the networks and difficulties overcoming traditional mentalities among entrepreneurs who are hesitant to cooperate. Scientists also need to change their attitudes toward more open cooperation with companies and a different view of knowledge sharing. Overall, the research found that sustainable cooperation requires addressing financial issues and changing traditional mindsets among both businesses and academics.

The document discusses an online traffic monitoring system for mobile users that provides information on traffic jams, meteorological conditions, traffic flow parameters, air pollution levels, and short-term and long-term health risks. It uses a Gaussian model of turbulent diffusion to calculate pollutant concentrations from traffic emissions based on factors like emission rates, wind speed, and source height. The system obtains real-time traffic and weather data from online sources to analyze current conditions. It also allows users to obtain routes with lowest estimated health risks and get categorized risk levels for their journey. While the simple calculation methods make instant estimates possible, the summary notes that more detailed road and vehicle data could improve accuracy.

Principles and guiding rules
Primarily promoting innovation for Swiss national
economy
Selection of topics bottom-up from industry partners
Promotion is subsidiary
Keep in mind the special character of Swiss
Economy
99.7% of all firms are SMEs; 67% of all employees
88% are micro firms (less than 9 FTA)
Almost 90% of all SMEs are family business
Efficient promotion without cost-intensive

first real bus
• The project is a cooperation of Hess AG (implementation
partner) and ETH Zurich (research partner)
• Project goals:
– optimizing the powertrain of a serial hybrid electric bus
for public transportation
– implement a predictive energy management strategy
that takes into account the altitude profile of the line
• 25% less fuel consumption and CO2
emissions compared to a conventional,
combustion-engine based vehicle
• Increase in bus sales (Hess AG)

Pillar 2: National thematic networks (NTN)
Represent topics with high innovation potential.
Actively contribute to strengthen the innovation power of
the Swiss economy by
facilitating the access to scientific research
(infrastructure)
catalyzing joint projects and cooperations among
industrial partners.

theme, complementary to the NTN-themes.
Platform for interaction between science and SMEs.
Possibility of face-to-face meetings / speed datings.
Web-based Platform: «Innovation map»
First overview about know-how and competencies on innovative
themes in science and industry in Switzerland.

New opportunities for international
R&D-projects since 2014
Whole range from big program to single
R&D project is possible.
Big programs must be based on a
common agreement of both parties.

Project Partners:
International cooperation for R&D projects
Foreign research partners allowed only in cooperation with a Swiss
research institution.
Any time – no Call!
Requires coordination with foreign innovation agencies.
Clear evidence of a win-win situation:
Swiss implementation partner and Swiss research partner
Complement with foreign research competencies
Majority of research in Switzerland (>50% of funding amount)
All CTI funding will be assigned to Swiss research partner:
Swiss main research partner is in charge
Seperate agreement between foreign and Swiss Research partners
No direct funding to implementation partner(s)
