Combining several key enabling technologies for advanced products Advanced materials Societal Challenge Microelectronics Nanotechnologies New nanotechnologybased diagnostics New target drug delivery and release Regenerative medecine Photonics Biotechnologies
Advanced manufacturing: personalised, smart and clean Personalised products, tailor-made product-service packages, smart products digital services Regional and local customisation, small lots, decentralised, new business models, new forms of working and skills needs Sustainable: energy and resource efficient, zero defect manufacturing Enabled by advanced technologies: digitisation, big data, Internet of things, cyberphysical systems - robotics, additive manufacturing, etc. Task Force on Advanced Manufacturing for clean products See also the Roadmaps of PPPs: Factories of the Future, SPIRE
The issues regarding KETs Europe has strong position in science and in patenting activity, although the latter is declining Butthere is a gap between the technology base and the manufacturing base We need to add product development (e.g. demonstrators) and competitive manufacturing to the technologies From Lab to Industry to Market
Industrial Leadership ICT, Key Enabling Technologies (KETs), Space Emphasis on R&D and innovation with strong industrial dimension - partnership with industry, to recover from economic crisis Activities primarily developed through relevant industrial roadmaps (ETPs, PPPs) Involvement of industrial participants and SMEs to maximise expected impact => key aspect of proposal evaluation Pilots and demonstrators, cross-cutting KETs, enabling applications in Societal Challenges Outcome and impact oriented, developing key technology building blocks and bringing them closer to the market 10
Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) a useful tool in development and deployment of KETs
Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) a useful tool in development and deployment of KETs NMP in FP7: TRLs 1 4; up to 5-6 in 2012-13 (pilots and demonstrators) LEIT KETs: TRLs 3/4 7; centre at TRLs 5-6
H2020 LEIT/KETs: From R&D to close-tomarket activities Use of Technology Readiness Levels Two funding rates 100% funding: TRLs 3-6 70% funding: TRLs 5-7 Non-profit participants can claim 100% funding Cross-cutting KETs (combinations of KETs and manufacturing) Seamless coverage provided by FETs/ERC LEIT Societal Challenges Ground prepared in FP7 (first pilots and demonstrators, innovation activities)
Ex 1: CassaMobile -Flexible Mini-Factory for local and customized production in a container (DEMO project)
Ex 2 - Innoshade Start TRL ~4 End TRL ~6 - Switchable light transmittance technology based on nanocomposites - Technology developed previously for small sized objects; project enables low-cost production of electrochromic shading appliances with lower energy consumption and faster response. - Sub-projects on: Ophthalmic lenses, Domestic appliances, Aircraft & Vehicle applications ESSILOR International GORENJE Group ARCELIK A.S. Fraunhofer ISC MASER Microelectronica S.L.
Issues to consider - High TRL does not necessarily translate to close-tomarket - High TRL in KETs does not necessarily translate to suitability for particular applications - but may be a prerequisite for access to high-value markets in e.g. health, energy or transport - The proposal must be credible with regard to the target TRL - Funding rate does not depend only on TRL - Transition from moderate to high TRLs mix of R&D and innovation activities in one project (funding rate fixed for topic in WP, applies to all activities)
