KIC InnoEnergy's technology strategy consists of 3 building blocks: strategy and roadmaps, competence mapping, and a long-term vision. The strategy and roadmaps define the focus areas and actions for 2013-2017, competence mapping analyzes partners' capabilities, and the long-term vision depicts the energy landscape in 2022. Projects are selected based on criteria like time to market, impact, partners' leadership, and regulatory factors. Assessments consider the business case, risks, financials, operations, and compliance with KIC requirements. Tools are used to evaluate projects based on criteria such as consumer readiness, technology readiness, and market size. The document provides details on KIC InnoEnergy's process for developing and

5. KIC InnoEnergy Technology Strategy – v2 (2/5)
3 building blocs: Strategy and Roadmap, Competence Mapping, Long term vision
Objectives and methods
Strategy and Roadmap
per thematic field
2013-2017
• To build KIC strategic
medium term roadmap per
thematic field
• Identify market challenges,
business drivers and
technologies to address
those challenges
• Assess KIC “Impactability”
of selected topic,
• Decide in which energy
technologies to focus
• Identify Industry value chain
necessary,
• Defining actions needed to
increase “impactability”
• Homogeneization & quality
(value chain, technoeconomic data, depth and
width)
• Sounder iterations
(stakeholders involved)
• More discrimination
Competence mapping
for Intra and Extra KIC
Partners per thematic
field
2000-2012
• To provide an in depth
understanding of KIC
partners competences in the
energy landscape
• Analyzing KIC partners’
innovation capacity ,
characterized by Key
Performance Indicators
(KPI)
• Mapping over 74 technology
segments identified over the
six KIC thematic fields
• Identifying key players
outside KIC; Top 10 players
and future game changers
• Better granularity
(homogeneity,
discrimination) per
technologies
• Complement analyzed KPIs
• Freeze T0
Long term Vision
Energy landscape 2022
2012-2017-2022
• To depict the whole energy
landscape and produce a
forward looking EU energy
landscape and KIC positioning
• In a five plus five year timeframe
• Using both user and supplier
perspectives
• Per existing KIC thematic
fields and new ones.
• Screening 115 energy
technologies
• Decide where to priorize KIC
investment (impactability,
risk reward)
• Homogeneize taxonomy
with the other 2 building
blocks
• Define portfolio
management criteria
• Define investment strategy
criteria
