Structural and Cohesion Structural and Cohesion FundsFundsNational Strategic Reference Framework (MENR) 2007-2013

Sets the guidelines that will govern the use in Spain of the UE Structural and Cohesion Funds.

Financial forecast allocates Spain a total of 35,217 Meuro Priority 1”R&D&I and IS” for convergence and phasing-out

regions totals 3,396 Meuro Priority 2 “Business development and innovation” for the

same regions in Spain totals 2,203 Meuro

MENR of Spain expressly mentions that R&D activities aimed at fostering eco-innovations are configured as vital elements to ensure sustainable development through effective application of new techniques and technologies that are more environmentally friendly

MAIN FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC INSTRUMENTS FOR INNOVATION

AND ECO-INNOVATION IN ANDALUSIA

INVENTOINVENTORYRY

MAIN FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC INSTRUMENTS FOR

INNOVATION AND ECO-INNOVATION IN ANDALUSIA

The InventoryInventory is based in a documentary analysis of the

approved regulationsapproved regulations within the current (national and

regional) R&D support famework.

The information obtained through this research has been

entered into a databasedatabase , and all the regulations identified

have been classified and ranked in accordance with the

following criteria

2525

INVENTOINVENTORYRY



Field name Description Name Official published name or official name of the Order to which it belongs. Promoting body The organisation that makes the official announcement. Managing organisation The managing organisation of the measure. Description This field gives a brief description of the instrument and the programme from

which it stems. Source (sphere) of the funds

Source of the funds to which the programme in question belong to. The modes of classification are:

1 European 2 State 3 Regional 4 Local

Nature of the funds. The nature of the promoter organisation’s funds. To be classified as: 1 Public 2 Private 3 Mixed, referring to companies or other entities of a different nature.

Co-funding Yes/ No field that responds to whether the promoter organisation fully funds the programme or instrument or, if appropriate, whether the funds provided by this party are complemented with funds from one or more other organisations.

Degree of co-funding Open numerical field (%) to fill in the degree of project co-funding. Type of instrument Three Yes/ No fields for each kind of instrument have been created:

1 “Economic” 2 “Financial” 3 “Consultancy or technical support instruments”.

A further open field was prepared entitled “Other kinds of instruments”, to include those projects that do not fit in to any of the foregoing modes.

Category of instrument The modes included are: 1 “ Discounted credits/ loans”, 2 “Interest rate subsidy”, 3 “Tax or taxation instruments”, 4 “Aid or subsidies” 5 “Others”.

A Yes/ No field is included for each mode, given that more than one mode could be included within a single instrument. For the last mode (“Others”), we created an open field entitled “Specify others”, in which a brief description of the instruments included herein is given.

Budget Maximum amount of budget assigned to the instrument. In the case of projects over several years the amount of the last year is specified, if this data is broken down or, if only the blanket amount assigned to the multiannual programme is available, the “blanket amount/ number of years” ratio.

Deadline Last date for applications. In some cases of multiannual projects only the date corresponding to the year in course is given.

Commencement of official announcement

The year the instrument was created or the date of coming into force of the official announcement in question.

Number of official announcements

Number of official announcements from the creation or design of the instrument.

INVENTOINVENTORYRY



Who is it for? Open field that specifies the target audience (companies, entrepreneurs, technological agents, etc.).

Identification of environmental objective(s)

Grading of identification of aid directly related to eco-innovation and environmental technologies in the instrument under consideration. The grading is: “High”, “Medium” or “Low”.

Target innovation process stage

To consider the process stage, the guide supplied by the party leader of the ECREIN project was used. This establishes the six classic stages of R&D&i:

1 “Basic research”, 2 “Applied research”, 3 “Experimentation”, 4 “Demonstration”, 5 “Development”, 6 “Exportation or introduction to the market” .

Lifecycle stage of companies at which they are targeted

A binary Yes/ No field has been used for each one of the modes, given that more than one mode could apply to a single instrument. These modes are:

1 “spin-offs”, 2 “entrepreneurs”, 3 “business nurseries”, 4 “SMEs”, 5 “private enterprises”, 6 “micro-companies”, 7 “self employed”, 8 “others”.

For the last mode (“Others”), we created an open field entitled “Specify others”, in which a brief description of the instruments included herein is given.

Environmental scope of the eco-innovations

The classification agreed between OCDE/ EUROSTAT in their SERIEE system manual and the CEPA Classification, 2000 has been used as the reference. To this end, Yes/ No fields have been created, given that more than one classification may apply to a single instrument. The modes are:

1 “Solid waste”, 2 “Waste water”, 3 “Air pollution”, 4 “Noise and vibrations”, 5 “Contaminated soils, surface waters and underground waters”, 6 “Analytical services, data capture and evaluation”, 7 “Environmental R&D”, 8 “Education, training and information”, 9 “Others”.


Type of eco-innovations promoted/supported

The classification of the typology under consideration has been designed through “The environmental employment in Andalusian industry” report, with the following Yes/ No fields:

1 “Introduction of end of line technologies”, 2 “Waste recycling and recuperation”, 3 “New products/ services or improvements to existing ones”, 4 “New integral processes or modifications to existing ones, 5 “Changes to the organisation”, 6 “New systems or distribution, transport and improvements”, 7 “Others”.


Observations Open field to include precise clarifications on those aspects and features of the instrument that may be of interest and which are not included in the previous fields.

ANDALUSIA

Difficulty to obtain precise knowledge on the existing promotion instruments

Difficulty to manage the large amount of information

Even some of the leading firms represented at the platform did not know almost 50% of the instruments included in the regional inventory

Administrative management becomes an additional burden

All the stakeholders represented at PRE All the stakeholders represented at PRE agreed onagreed on

ANDALUSIA

To reinforce the dissemination of information by public administrations and private agents, such as business associations.

To coordinate and simplify information mechanisms, as well as to increase the resources allocated to information and dissemination of existing instruments. With regards to these barriers and difficulties, PRE-ANDALUCIA members point out that an important achievement would be: establishing a visible and clearly defined agent to be addressed for all questions on instruments and proceeding

Our needs…Our needs…

ANDALUSIA

Instruments or economic resources allocated to the experimentation and pilot plant construction stages are insufficient (from a business perspective the instruments supporting just the initial innovation and development stages are not sufficient)

Signals in prices by means of economic grants or subsidies are still necessary
