ITEA 3 Call 2 preparation phase: time to accelerate
Posted by Philippe Letellier · 12 May 2015
The ITEA community as a whole has decided to reduce the time between the idea (PO Preparation Days) and the start of the project. This is important for us as we want to stick to the reality of the market. We can’t afford too many months between the moment we have an idea to transform the market, and the moment of actually getting it to market.
This acceleration has a consequence for you in terms of the time you have to write the proposals. This has been reduced for both the PO and the FPP while the quality is expected to be as high as usual in ITEA. Thus it is essential for you to come to the next PO Days, on 22-23 September in Brussels with ideas as well as with some core consortia to support the idea. It will be the best way to ensure you will be on time to deliver your proposal with the right quality.

Business acceleration
Posted by Philippe Letellier · 04 March 2015
The values of our time are innovation and speed. All the markets are under this pressure. New products are emerging more and more quickly and the digitisation of the world is pushing all businesses to reinvent themselves.
To support our industry we need to design new methodologies and tools aligned with this new way of doing business.

Digital transition
Posted by Philippe Letellier · 17 February 2015
Do you know any traditional economic domain protected from digital transition? I am afraid none is protected. It means all our European leaders are under this pressure of digital transition. Just as an example, the automotive industry recognises nowadays how important software is to its industry; more than 40% of the added value in a car is in electronics and software. For innovation the share is even more important, with most of the innovation supported by software in a physical product like a car!
ITEA is more than keen to support this digital transition to help our industrials to manage it in a better way.

Fast exploitation - ITEA 3 speeds up the ideas to the market
Posted by Philippe Letellier · 20 January 2015
I have read that the economic crisis is coming from an innovation crisis. I am a bit doubtful about that when I observe the amount of new ideas popping up in all our ITEA proposals and projects.
Indeed, we are living in a tremendous time for engineers due to the digitisation of the world (sensors, internet of things, social networks) and ubiquitous communication (NFC, bluetooth, wifi, 4G). You just have to gather few engineers in a brainstorming session, and you can be sure to generate twenty new ideas for business. All of them will not generate profitable business but a few of them surely will. The challenge is not a lack of new ideas but the means to test a lot of ideas of business.
