- For the first time ever at European level, public/private partnerships, involving industry, research community and public authorities,
are being set up to pursue ambitious common research objectives under Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs).
JTIs address strategic areas where research and innovation are essential to European competitiveness. A novel element of the Seventh Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration Activities, JTIs support large-scale multinational research activities. The European Commission mobilises a global budget of over 3 billions € which will be matched by funding from industry and Members States for at least an equivalent amount. - High-Level Industry Representatives put forward their Report.

Introduction to JTIs
In May 2007, the Commission adopted the first proposals for Joint Technology Initiatives. It was the first time that public-private partnerships, involving industry, the research community and public authorities, were proposed at European level to pursue ambitious common research objectives.
Joint Technology Initiatives are an entirely new mechanism for performing research at EU level. They are long-term Public-Private Partnerships and are managed within dedicated structures based on Article 187 TFEU (ex Article 171 TEC). JTIs support large-scale multinational research activities in areas of major interest to European industrial competitiveness and issues of high societal relevance.
