Amendment 34 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital A
Recital A
A. whereas the Union requires a new industrial strategy that makes its industries more globally competitive, a global reference point of industrial and technological excellence, leading standards setter, resilient and environmentally sustainable; whereas such a strategy should cover the transition of European industries to digitalisation and climate-neutrality, prioritising the ‘energy efficiency first’ principles, energy savings and renewable energy technologies;
Amendment 58 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B a (new)
Recital B a (new)
Ba. whereas the new industrial capacity of the Union should reflect and go beyond the production models of the new industrial revolution which is distinct to the previous era by its reliance on increased connectivity, enhanced digital layers, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Artificial Intelligence, blockchain, hyper-performance computing and quantum computing;
Amendment 64 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B b (new)
Recital B b (new)
Bb. whereas different sectors have achieved different levels of adoption of innovative production capacity and operational skills, creating thus in Europe an uneven development of technological capabilities and human capital, especially in legacy sectors and industries;
Amendment 66 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B c (new)
Recital B c (new)
Bc. whereas the new industrial era requires a different type of industrial organizations and firms (characterized by exponential characteristics) than the ones EU economies traditionally encountered (linear characteristics); whereas the digitalization of the economy reproduce diverse types of economies of scope and scale, generating thus diverse industrial dynamics of horizontal and vertical market integration, which changes the perspective of efficient size of the firms and the characteristics of intra- market competition and collaboration;
Amendment 68 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B d (new)
Recital B d (new)
Bd. whereas the transition to new models of industrial production cannot be solely the outcome of a comprehensive EU strategy, but it also requires from the private firms substantial increase in the internal organizational demand for such a transition, as organizational change is highly cultural and based on internal desire for change;
Amendment 69 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B e (new)
Recital B e (new)
Be. whereas the transition to a new industrial era requires also a change in the mentality of value creation (business models), value delivery (operational models), and value capture (monetization models), and this changes are much more difficult to be realized in legacy industrial sectors operating with legacy business models, reducing thus their profitability, competitiveness and job places;
Amendment 70 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B f (new)
Recital B f (new)
Bf. whereas the industrial organizations who advanced their transition to digitally enhanced industrial capabilities, have improved their efficiency in terms of revenue per employee and fixed asset turnover by 9% whereas idle and not innovative firms experienced reduction to their revenue efficiency by 4%; whereas the firms that attempted successfully the transition to the operational capabilities of the new industrial era increased their profitability in terms of EBIT and net profit margin by 26% contrary to idle firms that experienced a sharp reduction to profitability by 24%; whereas these numbers indicate that the greatest challenge of the EU is to address these discrepancies designing a policy that focuses on the acceleration of the demand side for technological innovation, to improve technology transfer mechanisms and facilitate the intra-organizational transitions within the firms;
Amendment 82 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C a (new)
Recital C a (new)
Ca. whereas the first statistics we receive about the impact of COVID-19 is that the firms, irrespectively of their size, who had in place a digitalized layer could absorb more effectively the shocks coming from the disruption in the consumption as well as the operating failures in the supply chains; whereas the recent pandemic made apparent the distinction between digitization (firms having some digital capacity in place) from digitalization (firms having along with the digital capacity, also efficient procedures that merge technological capacity with human routines);
Amendment 87 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C b (new)
Recital C b (new)
Cb. whereas continuity between the Union’s short-term and long-term industrial strategy is of paramount importance, underscores that resilience, digitalization and sustainability should be considered holistically as they re-enforce each-other, instead of pursuing them in silos; also, stresses that in any future industrial policy for EU, exponential and emerging technologies like AI, data analytics, blockchain, hyper-performance computing, and quantum-computing are all delivering more value in their convergence and not in isolation;
Amendment 88 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C c (new)
Recital C c (new)
Cc. whereas the new industrial era for Europe requires a more technologically advanced understanding of the idea of infrastructures and their interplay between analogue and digital space, especially in the setting of an Industrial Internet of Things; underscores that significant investments should be made in 5G/6G, data management architectures (from cloud computing to edge and fog computing), Industrial Internet of Things as well as in the capacity of the EU to interconnect machines with proprietary semi-conductors constructed in Europe;
Amendment 115 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Recommends the Commission to evaluate role as accelerator of the transition of the European production capacity and competitiveness to the new industrial era by introducing policy propositions that focus on both the supply side and the demand side of technology; Underlines that the EU institutions, and especially the EC should enhance its activities in supporting marketable innovation (supply side), however taking into account that it has to become more disciplined in terms of technology transfer channels from the lab to the market, specifying relevant key performance indicators when the EU budget is employed to support industrial innovation projects; Underscores that significant engagement in actions that boost the demand side for industrial innovation are also critical for the success of any EU industrial policy and strongly recommends the development of a policy that will incentivize the engagement of the industrial organizations and firms, especially the legacy sectors, into the functions of innovation ecosystems;
Amendment 118 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 b (new)
Paragraph 1 b (new)
1b. Recommends the Commission to structure a strategy that enhances the role of the European Digital Innovation Hubs and the existing innovation ecosystems in Europe in the value chain of the EU industries; Advises the need to create a strategy that explores the optimal position of the European industrial transformation in the continuum between in-house innovation and open innovation; Is of the opinion that indiscriminate adoption of open innovation schemes is not necessarily in line with the global competitive interests of the EU and suggests a scheme of open innovation but within European innovation ecosystems. In the same line, recommends the design of an innovation strategy for major corporations, mid-caps and SMEs, that will link the European firms with technology providers, and especially start-ups;
Amendment 119 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 c (new)
Paragraph 1 c (new)
1c. Advises the Commission to boost both the quantity and the quality of innovation and technology in the European Industries that is generated and transmitted by the European start-ups, by defining start-ups distinctly from the SMEs; Stresses that a start-up, contrary to an SME, has different organizational structure, distinct financing needs and distinct risk exposures that qualify it as a different entity in the entrepreneurial ecosystem with different responsibilities and economic engagements in the technology transfer to the industrial productivity of the Union;
Amendment 120 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 d (new)
Paragraph 1 d (new)
1d. Recommends the Commission to design a comprehensive strategy of infrastructure investments in the area of 5G/6G, cyber security and IIoT, that will enable the swift scaling and transition of the European industries to the new industrial era; Stresses the strategic importance of a European cloud as well as the need for agile data storage and management alternatives to cloud, such as edge, fog and mist computing capabilities; Suggests the further capacity development of a European semiconductors market, because, as it is possible to design the intended policy of data control, interoperability and security of interconnected machines into the silicon chip, then a European capacity in this industrial sector is strategic in terms of the global competitive position of the Union;
Amendment 121 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 e (new)
Paragraph 1 e (new)
1e. Recommends the Commission and the European Investment Bank who are implementers of investment instruments like the InvestEU and other similar programs, to accelerate the participation of the Member States by allowing them, when they are investing in windows like infrastructures, innovation and skills and start-ups development, the cost of their participation not to be considered as “macroeconomic liability” under the Stability and Growth Pact. This will accelerate the absorption of the funding and will improve the targeting to industrial projects that are highly additional;
Amendment 122 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 f (new)
Paragraph 1 f (new)
1f. Believes that the Commission and the other EU institutions have a strong capacity in developing and using innovative and emerging technologies and test them before trickling them down to the European industries through use cases; This role of the EU institutions is instrumental in experimenting with the technology before putting it into use in the private and public value chains; The EU institutions in general, and the EC in particular, should continue playing the instrumental role they now play in funding innovation partners (such as universities and research institutions) and continue using innovative technologies; However it is necessary to do so through mechanisms that mitigate the financial, technological, operational and reputational risks that now are concentrated; The EC should structure KPIs, quality standards and risk sharing mechanisms in its procurement policy as well as to develop the legal and budgetary framework that will allow its connection with innovation ecosystems; The funding of useful to industry technologies with the EU budget should produce marketable solutions and patents when possible, and royalties of these patents should be payed to the EU when the commercialization of the product is profitable in order the EU to use these proceedings for further investments in Research and Development;
