European Technology Platforms are industry-led stakeholder fora. ETPs provide a framework for stakeholders to define short to long-term research and innovation agendas and road maps for strategically important issues for Europe's competitiveness. ETPs play a key role in ensuring an adequate focus of research funding on areas with a high degree of industrial relevance.
Horizon 2020 recognizes the role of ETPs as part of the external advice and societal engagement needed to implement Horizon 2020. ETPs will therefore be a key element in the European innovation ecosystem and will help turn Europe into an Innovation Union, by taking a holistic view and:
- developing strategies and providing a coherent business-focused analysis of research and innovation bottlenecks and opportunities related to societal challenges and industrial leadership actions;
- mobilising industry and other stakeholders within the EU to work in partnership and deliver on agreed priorities;
- sharing information and enabling knowledge transfer to a wide range of stakeholders across the EU.
The European Commission does not own or manage European Technology Platforms, which are independent organisations.
