Europa debe aumentar su inversión en I+D para mejorar su competitividad global, según McKinsey & Company

**VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE**..At the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in Philadelphia on 25 May, British technology firm Dyson gave a glimpse of its top secret plans for household robots..During the event, Dyson outlined their ambitions in advanced robotics, and offered a sneak peak at its development of an autonomous device capable of household chores and other tasks. A film, which has also been released on social media, showcases the latest developments of Dyson-designed robotic hands grasping objects, indicating that the tech company is moving beyond robotic floor-based vacuums. The secret R&D work at Hullavington Airfield in Wiltshire is being led by Dyson’s Chief Engineer Jake Dyson.. .Jake said: “Dyson employed its first roboticist 20 years ago and this year alone we are seeking 250 more experts for our team. This is a ‘big bet’ on future robotic technology that will drive research across the whole of Dyson, in areas including mechanical engineering, vision systems, machine learning and energy storage. We need the very best people in the world to come and join us now.”. .Dyson is half-way through the largest engineering recruitment drive in its history, as 2,000 people have joined the tech company this year, of which 50% are engineers, scientists, and coders. The company is supercharging its robotics ambitions, recruiting 250 robotics engineers across disciplines including computer vision, machine learning, sensors and mechatronics, and expects to hire 700 more in the robotics field over the next five years. Their master plan: to create the UK's largest, most advanced, robotics centre at Hullavington Airfield and to bring the technology into our homes by the end of the decade..New recruits will be based at Hullavington Airfield in Wiltshire, a new London laboratory close to the Dyson Robotics Lab at Imperial College, and Singapore at Dyson’s global headquarters. Over the past six months, Dyson has been secretly refitting one of the main aircraft hangars at Hullavington Airfield to prepare for 250 roboticists to move into their new home. Its latest robotics makeover is the next stage in Dyson’s £2.75bn investment plan in new technologies, products and facilities; £600m of which is to be spent this year..Until now, Dyson’s robots have been floor-based vacuum cleaners – the first of which, the DC06, was designed 20 years ago...Where: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.When: 25 May 2022.Credit: Dyson Limited/Cover Images..**EDITORIAL USE ONLY.

última hora Europa inversion aumentar Mckinsey I+D

Altos costes energéticos y escasez de talento son dos barreras clave que Europa debe superar para revitalizar su economía

MADRID, 11 (EUROPA PRESS)

Europa debe aumentar la inversión en investigación y desarrollo (I+D) para mejorar su competitividad global, según se desprende de un análisis del McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) titulado 'Inversión: El pulso de la competitividad europea'.

La consultora internacional considera que "Europa se encuentra en una encrucijada crucial en su competitividad" y enfrenta desafíos que abarcan desde la crisis energética hasta la carrera por el liderazgo en inteligencia artificial y las políticas industriales en constante evolución. "La posición competitiva de Europa está bajo amenaza a nivel global impactando no solo su trayectoria económica sino también su calidad de vida y autonomía estratégica", asevera.

En esta línea, el análisis de la consultora revela que "la inversión, tanto en I+D como en capital humano y capital tangible, es fundamental para mantener y mejorar esta competitividad".

El informe, que analiza la inversión basándose en datos de 3.000 grandes empresas, destaca que en 2022 las grandes corporaciones estadounidenses dedicaron aproximadamente 700.000 millones de euros más a gastos de capital e I+D que sus homólogas europeas.

Por otra parte, señala que la inversión estadounidense en propiedad intelectual (PI) y equipos duplica la europea per cápita. Esta diferencia en el gasto pone de relieve "la falta de competitividad de Europa en sectores clave", destaca Mckinsey, que indica que "una inversión insuficiente compromete la competitividad de Europa y, sin competitividad, la inversión no fluye".

Para competir a nivel global, Europa debe duplicar sus inversiones más productivas, especialmente en el ámbito de la I+D, donde la innovación tecnológica juega un papel crítico, según el análisis.

La comparación con Estados Unidos no se detiene en la inversión en I+D y el estudio señala que los activos de capital riesgo gestionados en Europa equivalen a "sólo una cuarta parte del total estadounidense". Esta disparidad, asegura McKinsey, "subraya un problema estructural que Europa debe abordar con urgencia".

"La inversión representa entre el 70% y el 80% del crecimiento en productividad y la falta de inversión coloca a Europa en una posición de desventaja", señala.

Según el informe, "Europa no puede permitirse perder industrias intensivas en capital ni dejar escapar el sector tecnológico, que demanda grandes inversiones". Para atraer más inversiones, Mckinsey considera "crucial reducir la brecha del 4% en la rentabilidad del capital invertido".

BARRERAS CLAVE

El análisis de McKinsey también identifica barreras clave que Europa debe superar para revitalizar su economía y mejorar su competitividad.

Entre estas barreras se encuentran los altos costes energéticos, la escasez de talento y la regulación empresarial y del mercado laboral. La incertidumbre geoeconómica y macroeconómica también juega un papel "crucial" en la reticencia de los inversores.

Además del capital humano, la inversión en capital tangible es "esencial" para la competitividad europea, asegura la consultora, que indica que esto incluye infraestructura, tecnología y equipos que pueden impulsar la productividad y eficiencia en diversos sectores.

Por último, señala que la inversión en activos tangibles, como infraestructura y tecnología, es "fundamental" para mantener el ritmo con otras economías avanzadas, ya que "una inversión insuficiente compromete la capacidad de Europa para competir en un mercado global cada vez más exigente".
