What is the difference between European industrial initiatives and FP7s joint technology initiatives?
The European industrial initiatives will be implemented in different ways, depending on the nature and needs of the sector and the technologies. For technologies with a sufficient industrial base across Europe, they may take the form of public-private partnerships, while for other technologies that are prioritised by a few countries, they may take the form of joint programming by coalitions of those interested member states. Where appropriate, a combination of “technology push” and “market pull” instruments may be used.
