Factories of the Future, Energy Efficient Buildings, 5G and big data PPPs36, and other sectoral PPPs37 as well as the Internet of Things initiative38. Furthermore, a close alignment will be promoted with the European Open Science Cloud and the European supercomputing initiative for quantum cyber technologies (e.g. innovation in quantum key distribution, quantum computing research). The cPPP on cybersecurity is launched under Horizon 202039, the EU's research and innovation framework programme for the period 2014-2020. It will leverage funding from two pillars of the programme: Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies (LEITICT) and Societal Challenge – Secure Societies (SC7). The total budget of the cPPP will be up to EUR 450 million with a triple leverage factor on the industry’s side. Cybersecurity should also be addressed and coordinated with other relevant parts of Horizon 2020 (e.g. the energy, transport and health societal challenges and the Excellence part of Horizon 2020). This will contribute to the objectives of the cPPP on cybersecurity. This coordination should also happen upfront at the stage of designing sectoral strategies. The cPPP will be implemented in a transparent manner, with open and flexible governance adapted to a fast-evolving environment of cybersecurity. It will take into account the need for Member States to discuss how changes in technology affect the secure operation of national and cross-border infrastructures. Equally, the partnership’s output must be sustainable over several years to ensure that its objectives can be met. The cPPP will be supported by the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO), whose membership will reflect the diversity of the cybersecurity market in Europe. It will also include national, regional and local public administrations, research centres, academia and other interested parties. The Commission will: - sign with industry a contractual Public Private Partnership on cybersecurity so that it becomes operational in the third quarter of 2016; launch Horizon 2020 calls for proposals related to the cybersecurity cPPP in the first quarter of 2017; and ensure coordination of the cybersecurity cPPP with relevant sectoral strategies, Horizon 2020 instruments and sectoral PPPs. 5. CONCLUSION This Communication presents measures aiming to strengthen Europe’s cyber resilience system and to foster a competitive and innovative cybersecurity industry in Europe, as announced in the EU Cybersecurity Strategy and in the Digital Single Market strategy. The Commission invites the European Parliament and the Council to support this approach. 36 The 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership & the Big Data Value Public-Private Partnership.
