Mr. Pat Kelly:

Yes, we are. Horizon 2020 has a much deeper focus on the innovation end, so to speak, and there are innovative actions that were not in FP7. The Deputy mentioned the institutes of technology, IOTs. That is a particular grouping with which we want to engage for Horizon 2020. They are represented on the high level group, which is important because they are involved in the strategic direction of the programme.

It is envisaged that Enterprise Ireland will work closely with the IOTs and develop a database of companies and potential products that they would work towards because the IOTs have been involved in much of this, even outside the framework programmes, working with companies in incubation centres. That is where we see growth in the take for Ireland, so to speak, from Horizon 2020 at the innovation end.
